Comments - Old School Suicide Aftermath from the Early 1960s

thank god, that stupid koala nearly turned me, but im ok now

Well who would want to live with all the hippies that were around anyway?

Haunting clip. Maybe it was the music.....

The art of the music video wasn't really mastered till the 1980s.

Yeah, I found it creepy with the music. Look on the bright side, he didn't have to live one more day with ears on his neck.

i told him b4 stop using that dam rifle as a dam club.

If ever i decide to do the hari kari it has to be on an hawian beach somewhere, drink in one hand rifle in the other, listning to the lazy local tunes like the one we just heard.Ahh life is good.

in case anyone was wondering, the song is:
Johnny and Santo - Sleepwalker
Also heard on Stephen King's Sleepwalkers (movie)

thx- that's going into my slide repertoire

Hey thanks! I was just about to ask...

The Shadows re-recorded "Sleepwalk" as a more polished and equally haunting number in the 60's. Check it out. Nice music to die to.

So did Ultrsvox(not quite the same song though)

He should be glad he missed the climax of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
-
I wouldn't want a Cuban-anything climaxing on me.

He left the doors open to get fresh air.

RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who got that??

Richie? I thought it was Potsie!

Sitting at inspiration point... all alone... drunk... after getting dumped... everyone else is at the prom... he knew they'd show up there later... including that worthless bitch Jenny Hawthorn who dumped him... and went to the prom with his so-called friend Jimmy... "wait til' they see this" he thought...
BOOM!

I hope that was theraputic for you GG. Its always good to get these things off your chest.

nice old car very clean

Not so much anymore, better get it detailed.

Suicide; been solving life's problems since 1918.

suicide is a permanant solution to a tempory problem. Although he was probably gay, in that case he did the right thing

7 thumbs down eh, a lot of gay pride supporters me thinks

it reminds me of the old 1960's marajuana is bad propoganda video, that I seen for the first time on my cables on demand channel

REFER MADNESS!!!

He couldn't stand driving that shitty car any longer.

Wtf he looks just like pee wee herman

DELETED

Out-takes from Night of The Living Dead?

DELETED

lookin spiffy.
well..., except for the hole in his head

cool music. I forgot what I was watching and started daydreaming about being at the beach.

Great song. Great crime scene vid. He had his mouth clamped down tightly on the gun, and his eyes shut very tight when he killed himself. That is apparent because the blood coming from his ears. The immense pressure caused by the detonation of the gunpowder in the bullet will cause rupturing of the ears and eyes if it can't escape fast enough through the mouth. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks doc, now tell me why he still has all of his head intact. Wasn't that gun a shotgun? We need a gun expert here.

@Video: Wrong choice of music; still, better than the usual chaotic heavy metal bullshit.

That was a rifle

It was not a shotgun, it was a rifle. I'm not sure what caliber it was because the video quality of the time, but it was a larger bore weapon. You can tell this because there is a blade sight on the end of the barrel instead of a bead sight. Shotguns were not equipped with rifle sights until after the 60's.

I didn't know the US had right hand drive vehicles back in the 60's...
And thanks for the heads up on the song Wacky/Bertie... I knew I had heard that song in a movie, just couldn't remember which one

It was only later that Ward Cleaver realized he'd never gotten his rifle back from Mr. Higgins down the street...

his last thought was..
"im gonna do this before somebody invents the internet and therefore save me the misery of my suicide being broadcast thruout the world"
...
...so much for that

Looks like 61 was a bad year for folks and wine.

Damn you, Roger Maris!

Serves him right. There were plenty of other places to put his rifle. He put his bags in the boot, he shoulda done the same with his gun. So careless....

This is going to sound fucked up, but that was actually a very soothing video. I think it was the music. Nice and peaceful. He made good use of the old steering wheel.

Look, its the grandfather of all emos!

I think he knew the beatles were about to make it big, and he couldn't stand their fucking music likw a lot of people....

Ahhhhhh went there, I was listening to the Tommyknockers.

Suicide has not changed much , still the same result in the end , atleast todays suicide has colour film

he looks like dracula

Dracula is the most used villain in cinematic history. for you for spotting history

Suicide aftermath is bad, I'd do it before rather than sitting through the lecture!

Its so romantic how the wind is blowing through the creepy guys trench coat at 2:02

I think the label hanging from the guy holding the rifle reads, 'I am a complete cock for handling a potential murder weapon without gloves and I think I've managed to smudge all the fingerprints!Durr!'

What a pussy...everybody knows suicide via train is the way to go if you're a real man.

Suicide with a train, while buttsex-jumping into it naked!

If that guy thought 1961 was depressing he'd have killed himself as an infant in todays world.

He never got over the fact that George McFly got a girl and he never could. Six years later, this is what happened

he could have saved money on a gun by just driving off the cliff he was parked up at

i think he moved!!!!

This video is to long, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so fucking boring

Borin but anyone no what song this is it just get me sad=C

its a nice song.. : Johnny and Santo - Sleepwalker

For Sale:
Morris Oxford, Slight bodywork required. Good tyres. Leaky roof.

looks like a vampire bit him..

SHOOT

I get nostaligic with that music and see those old American cars. And I hear of suicides occuring in all sorts of gorgeous places surrounded by beautiful times and culture. No matter what place, what time, people still go through that stuff
One day we'll find a cure for depression and all that psyhochological stuff.

RECON WHAT THE CAR WOULD BE WORTH THEESE DAYS ( LESS THE BLOOD )?? GRINN

i don't understand suicide... why not just live life like a bat outta hell until you die on accident??

Blood all over his nice clean shirt, his wife's gonna kill.....Oh never mind

I wonder what the Carfax report would have to say about that one?

DELETED

Song definitely enhances the morbid here. Wasn't that what they played at the beginning of La Bamba?

this footage happened in mornington,victoria australia in june 23 1961.The man who died killed himself because he was guilty about feeling gay.

Well he's not nutz anymore

1.Nice music
2.Cant see any "graphic" and
3.What the hell is JohannaXn? Saw this sign in some clips before... maybe its a subculture of Illuminati?
