The "Faces of Death" movie series being pulled from shelves must be a regional thing, because I spoke with my neighborhood rental shop guy about 2 years ago regarding this very subject. I had noticed that he had an 8 volume set of these movies, and he kept them perpetually in the "new release" section (which is obviously more expensive to rent). I had also noticed on that particular day that they were no longer there, so I asked him about them. He told me that he kept them there because they were some of his all-time hottest rentals. They were no longer on the shelf because, well frankly the copies he once had simply "wore out" and he hadn't replaced them yet. They were rented to death!!
I remember back in the mid-80's getting hold of a really really bad copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy of the original movie from someone. It was supposed to be highly illegal back then, and I watched it. Staged or not, there were some pretty freaky parts to it. I thought the "virgin sacrifice" at the end was pretty lame though, although the girl was good looking.
