Quotes
Of course we all know that the existence of snuff films is the stuff of urban
legends. But there are those persistent reports of a thriving underground market
for just such films, a market that is said to include many of wealth and power.
Former Nebraska State Senator John DeCamp, for
example, gives an appallingly detailed account of one such film in his
self-published book, The Franklin Cover-Up.
Ed Sanders concludes in The Family
- based on a number of witness statements - that the Manson clan was involved in
the production and distribution of snuff films (as well as child pornography). Maury
Terry reaches the same conclusion about the Son of Sam cult in his book The
Ultimate Evil. And then there is the case of Charles Ng and Leonard Lake.
Their Northern California ranch was tailor-made for
the production of snuff films, complete with a bunker containing hidden rooms
with one-way viewing windows and hidden cameras. The compound also contained an
incinerator for disposing of the bodies - one reason that a final body count was
never achieved, though evidence indicated that as many as 25 people were killed
and disposed of.
As previously mentioned, Lake's ex-wife managed to
get to the compound shortly before police and remove an unknown number of
videotapes from the property. Though authorities claim these tapes were later
returned, there is no way of verifying that the tapes returned were the same
ones that had been removed, or that all were returned. There's Something About Henry by David McGowan
It was The Hand of Death. We were working for that cult and we'd grab little kids for the human sacrifices, grab young women for the snuff movies..........The priests took the virgins to one building and the non-virgins went to where they made snuff films.
