In the late 80's the powers that be thought that the world as we know it was coming to an end because of what was affectionately known as "Video Nastys" titles like "Driller killer" "I spit on your Grave"
Canibal this that or the other were banned by the Government at the time as danger to the morals of the youth at the time.
Complete bollocks now there's a ground swell of opinion in computer games such as "Manhunt" etc that these should be banned also where will it end "Grimms fairy tales" will be too violent and should that be banned also the PC brigade are getting away with murder if you pardon the pun, surely parents should be monitoring what their kids are watching or what games they're playing
I used to watch a shed load of horror gore fest movies over the years but most now are too predictable to bother with.
The "Hell raiser" movies were my favorite "Pinhead" was a class character..
