Watched a movie starring Jonny Depp called The Libertine. Owing to its 17th C. subject matter, I was expecting a couple of snuff using scenes and I detected at least three throughout the movie.
Sorry, I didnât realize this was already mentioned in another thread. I wish the search function wasnât set to search subject line by default.
that is cool. There are lots of post that are similar. Itâs no problem in my opnion.
I posted a while back a link to the oldest surviving âsnuff movieâ. It also happens to be a copy of the oldest surving piece of recorded motion picture film - it is of course Fred Ottâs sneeze. Fred Ott worked at Thomas Edisonâs laboratory and was filmed during a snuff induced sneeze, in which you can clearly see him taking a pinch. So thereâs a bit of trivia for you all to baffle your friends with down the pub.
Just watched an old western from 1961 called âGold of the Seven Saintsâ. There is a seen where a lady is having trouble delivering a baby so the doctor borrowed a snuff box from another man & filled a quill with snuff then blew it up the ladies nose. This caused the lady to sneeze & the baby came right out. This technique was known as âquillingâ. Iâm a big fan of the westerns.
Thereâs an old Laurel and Hardy film where the gag is around Oliver Hardy sneezing etc. I saw it as a kid but canât remember the name of it.
Just came across this. I love Dalziel & Pascoe - but havenât read this yet. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0586072500/ref=olp\_product\_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

Sweeny Todd has a little snuff in it, but if you blink youâll miss it.
Yes chas actually posted that clip from Sweeny Todd on the other Movie discussion. There are some other good movies in which snuff makes an appearance listed there. Go to comment #23 from chas for sweeny todd link. Movies
snuffster- the laurel and hardy movie you remember was called Bonnie Scotland. They expect to inherit an estate or something but actually just receive a snuffbox and a set of bagpipes. I donât remember seeing this one, just read a review. the reviews werenât too good but when you add up Laurel+Hardy+snuff box full of snuff Iâm sure it equals good laughs for us here at snuffhouse. One of my favorites was always the one where they have to deliver a piano to a house on a hill with a zillion stairs.
My favorite is when Bugs bunny gets into Napoleonâs snuff box and gets a huge red nose.
Now that Iâve got to see! Bugs Bunny rules! I love the one with the vampire that changes from bat to vampire to bat by saying hocus pocus or abracadabra. The vampire comes up behind him with an anvil and bugs says hocus pocusâŚsquish! Then bugs starts with the abracapocus and hocuscadabra causing him to be odd mixes of bat/vampire. Bugs Bunny would definately cause someone to check in to a mental hospital by the time heâs done with them. Iâm sure he does the same to Napoleon.

They don;t show it on T.V any more because it is âPolitically Incorrectâ. But, If you can download it or maybe you tube it, it is worth it. One of the best episodes in my oppinion!!! P.S Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da wabbitâŚ

Yes, that worked. Excellent!
I bet youâll think twice before sliding down a banister again eh?
bugs bunny rocks! lol he needs to work on his snuff technique though.
not sure if this ones been mentioned or not but the song âroosterâ by alice in chains contain these lyrics âHere They Come To Snuff The Rooster Yeah Here Come The Rooster You Know He Ainât Gonna Dieâ not sure if this is a snuff reference or something else but i had some friends over sampling some of my snuff and they pointed this out to me. let me know if anybody knows.
no it has nothing to do with snuff. It has to do with Jerry Cantrells dad being a nam vet nicknamed the rooster.
