(Al Goldstein, publisher of Screw magazine, has a standing offer of $1 million for anyone who can come up with a commercially sold snuff film. That offer has been in place for years. No one has yet laid claim to it.)

Damian,
Snuff films do exist - but they aren't called like that for long time. They're usually categorized as:
- Regular murders (hostage situations, gang related, etc)
- Decapitations (Talibans, Al Qaeda and of course Mexican cartels)
- Executions (They've been taped since like forever? Mostly war related)
Snopes said that because these aren't to be sold, terrorist groups and killers release them for free, to show their work to other people.
