Have it Need it

FACES OF DEATH III is part of our Vinegar Syndrome Archive collection, celebrating forgotten cinematic oddities from the video store era. This collection was inspired by our own brick & mortar video stores.

Unique to this line, each numbered limited edition release will come fitted in a specially designed, bottom loading VHS inspired slipcase, while also including a double-sided poster.

This listing is for the standard edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcase was limited to 3,333 units and is sold out. Both versions are identical, aside from the packaging.

Description

The shocking analysis of death in full color continues in the expanded, ambitious FACES OF DEATH III! Amid the ongoing success of their appalling series of video-rental favorites, the makers of Faces of Death decided to branch out and make a more conventional "mondo movie." The result was FEAR, an exploration of fears, superstitions, urban legends, and the real-life carnage that so often accompanies them. Despite having had a brief release in Europe, by the time a US debut was ready, the runaway demand for Faces of Death sequels was so overwhelming that FEAR was re-tooled and re-titled to FACES OF DEATH 3, which featured the return of the erudite Dr. Francis B. Gröss (Michael Carr) in video-only hosting segments.

Even with the enduring popularity (and wild notoriety) of the Faces of Death series on home video, audiences have been deprived for over forty years of the opportunity to see what is easily the most unusual and unexpected release from the Faces of Death universe. Vinegar Syndrome Archive is very proud to bring this wild and original mondo production to 4K UHD, painstakingly restored to its initial theatrical version as FEAR, in addition to its much more commonly seen FACES OF DEATH III video version, and packaged with an array of extra features.

    Faces of Placenta Tres leches

    Dinner party only a Donner could love. Parts like this baby feast were silly good fun. The rest was well narrated and looked fantastic in 4k but kinda monotonous.

    Aquaphobia doctor(?) so seriously wants us all to stay on land. Led into guy boating to **** rock music in background, the clash of tone had me rolling. Forget barracuda face, save the guy being strangled to death by the world's tiniest bikini. RIP

    great presentation of "classic" gunk

    I was never a F. O. D. kid; the stories my friends would tell me about these movies provided vicarious kindertrauma. Reading about how much fakery goes into them in KILLING FOR CULTURE & getting into the mondo movies pushed my curiosity. So, finding out that F. O. D.3 was an attempt to do something different made me MORE curious.

    This is a cool entry into mondo cinema that is so cooked up & of its time. VS's 4K does a great job with the variety of formats used, from video to grainy film to cleaner images. My favorite segment might be when the director plays a psycho forced to watch some his own videotaped misdeeds. Glad to have this edition on my shelf, especially with the alternate VHS cut.
