Snuff

The Slaughter
American Cannibale
Big Snuff
1974 US/Argentinian video by Michael & Roberta Findlay
Film within a film. Pointless outer film suddenly gets interrupted by a notorious "snuff scene" where the crew amputate the limbs from an unsuspecting actress and then they draw yards of offal from under her T-shirt. The effects are nowhere near good enough to even hint that this may be a real snuff film.

1976 Italian video by Sergio Garrone
Notoriety achieved from the bad taste poster rather than the video itself. The most outrageous experiment is that commandant commands the removal of the balls of the hunkiest soldier "OK you bastard what have you done with my balls"

1978 US video by Dennis Donnelly
Ski masked psycho preys on women in an apartment building who he considers are in need of a moral lesson. This is doled out with the contents of his toolbox, eg a nailgun is used to kill a wanton strumpet with shots to the head and belly.

The Witch who Came from the Sea
1976 Us video by Matt Cimber
A sensationalist cover got this video into trouble "A young woman's nightmare of incest and castration... Molly has a way with razors!" The actual castration scene of course is well toned down.
