The Faces of Death remake has now cast stars from both Netflix’s Stranger Things and HBO’s Euphoria. The original 1978 Faces of Death, from writer-director John Alan Schwartz, was an anthology-style film hosted by Michael Carr as pathologist Francis B. Gröss that purported to show real-life footage of shocking deaths. The amount to which the footage was real has been questioned throughout the years, with many but not all scenes later having been revealed to be fake, a controversy that also plagued its three sequels. Despite its divisiveness, the film was a hit, earning $35 million off its $450,000 budget.
