Introductions and farewells

Tobe Hooper’s classic horror film has a reputation that proceeds it. Notoriously the BBFC refused the film a certificate even with cuts due to the very nature of the film.

Looking at all the films in the Video Nasties scare

This is my first experience with Christopher Brown, stubbling onto this podcast by researching video nasties, and i am happy to have done so. Chris not only digs deep into the film, but also why it ended up on the bannned list. This is a great way to learn about a time in film history where censorship was in full force. Being from the United States the video nasties list isn&#39;t general knowledge and it was a treat to get some more info from a fellow fan&#39;s perspective.

An entertaining ride into sleaze and grim.

Another recent podcast discovery. Seems the brits are doing some outstanding genre podcasting of late.  Hrad to believe a so-called democracy would actually imprison someone over a horror film, but there you go. Anyways, really enjoyed your Night Gallery podcasts Mr. Brown, just as I&#39;m enjoying these very interesting bits of UK horror history.

Excellent Genre Podcast
