After the comic absurdity that was the video nasties moral panic in the early 80s, UK censors cracked down heavily on horror films. Yeah, collecting horror videos (that’s right, this was the 90s man, no DVD around) in the UK was frustrating at best, downright impossible at worst. Even then, when I got my hands on it, it was heavily cut. The point is, I spent years – literally years – hunting that film down. 3 years guys! And being about 13, I couldn’t convince my mum to get it for me, cos she thought I had enough horror films. I remember reading about Re-Animator in the UK horror mag The Dark Side and adding it to my list of films to get. Oh, you want that weird tv-movie of Ringu, where Sadako is nude for the whole film? No problem! Just nip on over to Cinemageddon and snatch it.Īnd yet it wasn’t always. Oh, you want Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood? No problem, go to YIFY and get that blu-ray rip.

You want to see Suspiria? No problem, just hop on Pirate Bay and download it.

The whole world at their grubby little fingertips. Kids these days eh, with their internets and their torrents.
