Sex, violence, and sensible heels on housewives...this movie has it all. Pages of Death was a half-hour video commissioned by The Hour of St. Francis radio program and distributed by a group that was affiliated with the Catholic Church. Its mission? To teach the world about the dangers of girly mags.

See, according to Pages of Death, a porno mag had the power to sway "even grown men" to a life of crime and violence.

Yes, we're talking about those magazines with ladies in their underwear. No, it doesn't make sense. That didn't stop them from creating a cinematic masterpiece, though...

So obviously all of this is bullshit, since if everyone who ever saw pornography became a murderer, we'd all be killed by now.

Oh, by the way, the narrator, Tom Harmon, who asserts all of these facts? His wife was Elyse Knox, an actress who started her career as a pin-up girl during World War II.
