RE: "Horror" Review: The Official Splatter Movie Guide by John McCarty (1989, St. Martin's Press)
I owned this book once, might still have it somewhere. The government tried to stop us watching this material in the 90's, I still saw most of it.. mostly on 4th gen video copies!
The "Video Nasties" period in the UK is fascinating to me, and I love reading peoples' recollections and memories of what growing up and trying to enjoy horror while treading through the minefield that was Section 3 of the DPP.
You know, in case you ever want an automatic upvote from wee little me. ;)
I remember the DPP but sections of it? You know this stuff better than I!
If I do, it's because I've been a long-time follower of Glenn Criddle on YouTube, who has spent the past decade or so deep-diving into the world of the Video Nasties: watching, reviewing, critiquing, and explaining why he believes they were sectioned off as they were by the BBFC.
That's not all he does with his channel, but it's how I discovered him at any rate. :)
It was that @trolleydave who exposed me to the nasties. I spit on your grave, faces of death.. it all happened during the chronicles which I wrote about some time back.
