Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind.

My name is Robert Lamb.

And I'm Joe McCormick, and we're back with part two in our series on personifications of death.

We were thinking about calling these episodes faces of death, but then we realized that it might be confusing, title-wise.

Yeah.

Is that like when you were in, I think it was when I was in high school.

I remember people watching those things.

Yes.

Yeah.

I remember seeing them in video stores, never watched them myself.

But it always felt like the ultimate video, the ultimate forbidden video on the shelf.

Were those a mix of real footage of executions and then fake footage pretending to be of real executions.

That's my understanding. Yeah, that it's like, and not just actual debt, especially they got

further into the series. I think it also got into stuff like, you know, just footage from around

the world, maybe like footage of big snakes, things like that.

But, yeah, I never saw them, and I've never sought them out.

Yeah, like, oh, here's a snake that ate a tortoise and then ruptured or something.

Yeah.

So, yeah, anyway, we're back with part two of this series on personifications of death.
