In an interview decades later, Roberta Findlay said that the film's distributor Allan Shackleton had read about snuff films being imported from South America and retitled the film to Snuff to exploit the idea ; he also added a new ending that depicted an actress being murdered on a film set.

Shackleton put out false newspaper clippings that reported a citizens group's crusading against the film and hired people to act as protesters to picket screenings.

Famous people who have lived here include Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer ; George Grove of musical dictionary fame ; John Logie Baird, the television inventor ; Jason Statham, an actor ; the comics and film historian Denis Gifford ; and Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement.

Independent low-budget distributor and sometime producer Allan Shackleton took the film and shelved it for four years — but was inspired to release it with a new ending, unbeknownst to the original filmmakers, after reading a newspaper article in 1975 on the rumor of snuff films produced in South America and decided to cash in on the urban legend.

Once the film was released, distributor Shackleton reportedly hired fake protesters to picket movie theaters showing the film.

Miller cites as an initial inspiration for the film an encounter with a grizzled old camera-man, whose father was Frank Hurley of the Shackleton expeditions, during the shooting of Mad Max 2: " We were sitting in this bar, having a milkshake, and he looked across at me and said, ‘ Antarctica .’ He ’ d shot a documentary there.
