Forgive me if I sound stupid.. lbs

I've read some posts regarding the ending of season six. Seems like people have mixed feelings about the seasons as a whole, some just hate the finale, some admitted the format wasn't to their taste, but they still thought it was clever, I suppose. But a reoccurring thing I've seen come up, and is debated pretty much every time I saw it brought up, is did this season 6 incorporate like actual, real life deaths at any point. Some people were saying it was a new age horror thing and some people were throwing around snuff film. I've seen that this season has multiple shows in a show in a show, but do they actually show real people being actually murdered on some found footage something? I've seen many parts of all seasons of this show, though I've only seen asylum and coven all the way through. Could someone spoil this or explain what's being discussed when people are referring to some of the footage as snuff films? I saw several people who were saying the whole season was a satire on our media and the watchers of it, reality television, one guy referred to this season as "American Horror Story's 'Natural Born Killer' season" (Big fan of NBK), but I really don't wanna be tricked or deceived into watching actual people die on screen at any point so yea. Thanks in advance for elaborating on my concerns!

P.S. Do I need to watch any of the other seasons or all of the other seasons as a pre-requisite to this one? I know it's an anthology series, but also saw people referring to season one and two regarding season six, as if they might be tied together I guess? Is "season one and two" referring to a setup this season establishes or do I need to watch season 1 and 2 in their entirety before watching this season. (If there is actual people shown being murdered in real life, feel free to skip answering my post script question as I won't be watching season 6 8; that's the case.

Do you not understand the difference between fiction and reality? How on earth could anyone possibly believe that big-name Hollywood actors were ACTUALLY killed to film a TV show? That's possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen posted on the Internet.

[–] Jacob-Hudson 8 years ago

As I clearly stated, I thought it might be actual found footage, not Hollywood actors dumb@ss. Don't get mad at me because I know what the term "snuff film" means, which was used by more than a few separate commenters. Of course I didn't think Hollywood hired anybody to get killed for the show. I thought it would combine reenactments and actual footage maybe. Next time, try making sure you understand everything you've read before commenting like a jack@ss. Carry on.

I have to ask -- do you ever wonder what your life would have been like if you'd been born smart, or is that kind of thinking too complex for you people?

You're obviously not bright if you think 1) "found footage" of actual murders could possibly exist, and 2) a major-studio production could ever obtain the necessary legal clearances to use footage of anyone who hadn't signed a release.

Perhaps you should wait until you've finished middle school before posting further, because you sound like a mentally challenged 12-year-old.

The OP watches Westworld. Do you think he actually knows that when Teddy gets snuffed in just about every episode, the actor Marsden who plays him really did get killed, but was miraculously resurrected in time to learn his lines and shoot for the next episode.

LOL. By the way I finally finished Westworld and HOLY SH!T it was incredible.

[–] danloki 8 years ago

🙌 What a finale. Did you stay through the end credits?

[–] gabrielianarman 8 years ago

At first I didn't but I saw a lot of people referring to a scene at the end so I went back and watched it. That bitch is terrifying.

Let's be kind to this individual, he knows nothing about the season and is asking some questions from things he's heard from other people. To answer your questions there are no actual footage of snuff killings in season 6 or any real killings for that matter. It is all acted, with no one getting injured or killed. You do not need to watch previous seasons to watch season 6.

Sure he may not know anything about this season or this show but I am flabbergasted anyone old enough to even use a computer thinks there's any small minute chance a DRAMA shows actual murders. I'd think even a ten year old with bad parents who let him sign up for an account and watch a horror show would understand something so glaringly obvious. I must suspect the OP was goofing and asked for attention vs. someone actually could have thought that.

Even in Cannibal holocaust, although it looked so real they didn't actually die.

Guess the show did something right if people truly believe that the death scenes looked that real

do they actually show real people being actually murdered on some found footage something?

Yes. All the actors in the show were murdered for entertainment purposes.

I really don't wanna be tricked or deceived into watching actual people die on screen at any point so yea. Thanks in advance for elaborating on my concerns!

This is a very important concern. Thank you for your sensibility.

some people were throwing around snuff film.

The first snuff film ever on tv. I have no idea how this fact escaped the media's attention. It was all quietened up by the scoundrels behind Pizzagate.

I remember going to a Hollywood party in the late 80's and binge watching the Faces of Death movies. I honestly thought they were real at the time...but coke was involved 

Not today Satan, not today

[–] danloki 8 years ago

One of my nephews told me about faces of death many years ago so my husband looked it up on the net. I thought they were real - but no coke was involved.

[–] waynealanblood 8 years ago

Things (like snuff films) go better with coke.

Dude, it’s Beacon Hills.

[–] danloki 8 years ago

Hullooo stranger. How was your xmas?

I dont like coke. The only fizzy drinks I like are champagne and mineral water.
