One of horror's most notable periods of censorship, we examine the "Video Nasty" panic that took hold in the UK in the 1980s. How do these movies offend a conservative worldview, and how do they reflect an alarming trend that still continues?

Includes discussions of Thrash (2026), Axe a.k.a. California Axe Massacre a.k.a. Lisa, Lisa (1974), Faces of Death (1978), The Driller Killer (1979), Don't Go in the House (1979), Dead & Buried (1981), Evilspeak (1981), Xtro (1982) and more.
