If learning of how others die fascinates you in some way, we have a show to tell you about.
“1000 Ways to Die” combines the science of living and the randomness of death with a dash of Darwinism.
To some degree, we are all fascinated with death and our own mortality. That’s why when you tune into Spike TV’s new two-part special “1,000 Ways to Die,” you may be slightly disturbed, yet you’ll be unable to turn away.
With creative graphics cues from "Tales from the Crypt" combined with a dash of "Scarred," Spike\'s producers have flavored their latest grim reaper reality TV with a few laughs for good measure.
Created by Thom Beers, producer of “The Deadliest Catch” on the Discovery Channel, “1,000 Ways to Die” is a show about people who died stupid, avoidable deaths or otherwise met an untimely demise.
What actually happens when a rattlesnake\'s venom enters a human’s bloodstream? How do Nitrogen bubbles affect the body after long exposure under water then immediately to 2 miles up into the sky?
These questions and many more will be answered in this original special in glorious CGI effects in the two-part special of true stories of actual deaths and recreates them through acting, colorful narration along with the commentary of pathologists, toxicologists, and other forensic experts.
