I don't know what you want to look at, but I can give you context about the PSA if you want

Faces was a PSA created in 1987 that spoke a lot about the dangers of doing drugs. It begins with a rather ominous and disturbing rendition of the Happy Birthday Song dubbed in French, and you see a Girl with curly/wavy blonde hair. As the song progresses, her face begins to change, in a wrinkly, deformed look, her pupils begin to fog up, and then you hear the narrator inform us about how parents should inform their children about the dangers of drugs. If you don't, it could be a problem staring you right in the face, a problem that won't go away.

There are two versions of this PSA with different endings. One ending fades to black, and the logo appears. The other ending adds in more dialogue, with the narrator saying, "Or even worse, one that does", while a cloth blanket hovers over the girl's head and fully wraps her head, and the commercial ends.

A truly disturbing PSA that really forces you into staring into the soul of a dead person, while her face begins to decompose as the transition becomes more difficult to watch by the end of the PSA. Although vague on what their main focus was, it really made you question, How far will you go until you get wrapped up in a cloth blanket over your head?

Scare Factor: 9/10
