  • Hi DarkAngel182..Need soome advice if possible..My father used to own a rental shop in salford manchester from 1980 to 1988 before he passed grhs...I was left with all his beta machines and films...i have about 2,000 ex rental films..mostly horror..but one i keep getting asked about is The beast in heat by jvi..is this rare as i have 4 copies..original that is..please advise

  • @azshaw123

    Yes it is a fairly rare VHS to come by, you'd probably get a tidy sum for it on Ebay, just be sure to put "pre-cert video nasty" in the item description.

  • visiting hours is awesome

  • Good in depth with discriptions of the movie. I only liked hell of the living dead of it's gore value !

  • I had that copy of the werewolf and the yeti. I sold it on eBay for about £50 a few years ago! it is quite rare.

  • if the movie Crash had been around it may have got some greef. thankfully bbfc actually watched the movie and said it was NOT dangerous

  • can u make a separate video on any asian horror movies you own, if any, much appreciated

  • you don't have salo in your collection

  • Salo was never listed as a video nasty, but looking at some of the reviews of that films its not one I would want in my collection anyway.

  • How could Zombie Creeping Flesh be a nastie?

  • Simple, the authorities based their list on the films title, box art, or recommednations by the press.

    In this case, they seized on the title because it had the word "Zombie" in it. They must have had a shock when they came to watch it and found it was just a bad comedy.

  • i have a lot of zombie movies the creeping flesh was banned for years it still today can not be found more likely just deleted not banned

  • Vipco released Zombie Creeping Flesh uncut but they went out of business a couple of years ago which is fantastic if you're a nasty collector

  • If you like bizarre cinema you surely have seen the Nekromantik films. What do you think about them?

  • I thought they were extremely fucked up to be honest.

    Seeing them really does make you wonder just what the hell is wrong with German people!

  • have you seen Suffer Little Children that was banned under the act.Apparantly awful as in poor film,was slammed in the sun early 80's? cheers,good commentary

  • Can't say as I have, was that the 1983 film by Alan Briggs?

  • yes the Alan Briggs one,supposed to be pretty dreadful.I was involved with the filming when i was a teenager but i've rarely seen it for sale

  • I enjoy your website since 4 years ago.

    Have you seen the Guinea Pigs series films? What do you think about them?

  • Yes I've seen and enjoyed them. Very wierd films.

  • Another weird film you have to see is Anthropophagus (aka the Grim Reaper)

  • Errr, I have seen it.

    It was the first film I held up in part one of these videos.

  • Really enjoyed this series of vids - you clearly know your stuff! I'm going to have a look through your other stuff to see if you've criticised Jess Franco in more detail anywhere else...;-) Top work and nice collection.

  • hello mate i have a collection of pretty rare horror dvds for sale if you would be interested

  • Hey man thanks for the videos I was thinking of starting a collection but did not really have a good guide to start. Now I know what to start buying, again thanks alot.

  • good stuff you know your shit

  • by the way, if i buy zombie aka zombie flesh eaters uncut from the blue underground version is that region 0?

  • I don;t know as I have the Shreik Show version, try googling some dvd review sites!

  • All blue underground discs are region 0.

  • yeah i recently got zombie (blue underground version) and cannibal holocaust (unrated), imported from the U.S, i can't wait to check them out!

  • I own the anchor bay release of "Zombie"', which is also unrated, however I am considering buying the blue underground version, due to the fact that all of their releases have a good selection of extras. Is the blue underground version the one called "Zombi 2"? Happy viewing mate!

  • i have the blue underground version of zombie, and it's just titled "zombie, the shriek show version is titled "zombi 2"! I'll watch it during the weekend!

  • Great series of videos, really enjoyed it. Many thanks.

  • Praise indeed, I am deeply humbled.

    I really ought to do an update on these as I have aquired a few more titles and upgraded some of my old VHS copies.

  • Please do! I look forward to it.

  • by the way, to get zombie flesh eaters uncut in the UK, you can buy it seperately, buy the dead of night collection and that's the best version you can get uncut, but unfortunately some small bits are cut, but not much is cut!

  • The uncut version was only released in a box set with 4 other films. The disc by Dead of Night is the previously cut 'extreme version', which still misses out some of the gore, but not cut as badly as the old Vipco tape.

  • well in the dead of night, you still see the eye scene but it's just shortened, and the scene where the group of people go into the house and find the woman being eaten the bit where the zombie picks a bit of her guts and eats it, i noticed that bit was cut, but in the box set does it show the eye scene extended and the whole scene where the zombies eat the woman's body?

  • The release on the box of the banned set was fully uncut.

    Again, the Dead of Night release is still cut, just not as badly as previous releases.

  • anyways i don't see the point of buying the whole box set, i just want to see zombie flesh eaters, anyways will they release zombie flesh eaters in the UK, on dvd by itself uncut, by the way even if they do release it uncut should i keep the dead of night version or sell that one?

  • Well there's no reason why Dead of Night couldn;t re-issue this one uncut if they wanted now that it has been passed. They obviously can't be bothered to repress it.

    I'd get an uncut import off Ebay personally.

    Incidentally, House by the Cemetery has just been passed uncut, so that's another one down!

  • but the thing is zombie flesh eaters aka zombi 2, in the U.S is only on region 1 and i only have region 2, so it wouldn't be able to work on my PC, which has a dvd-rom, anyways is house by the cemetery uncut in the UK in a box set or seperate?

    P.S: will cannibal holocaust ever come out uncut in the UK?

  • The australian R4 disc will work in a UK R2 player. There are also numerous European releases that will play on your machine,

  • by the way, omardogs also has zombie flesh eaters from dead of night, and he said it's the best uncut version in the UK, but i'll watch it this weekend to make my opinion about it, since i just bought it yesterday, however i was lucky to find it in HMV in bond street, it was very hard to find!

  • It is available on the 'Box of the Banned' collection, which also contains some other nasties released uncut in the UK. Incidentally, I recently saw the previously banned movie 'Late Night Trains' in my local HMV! They'll be stocking 'Anthropophagous the Beast' next!

  • i only have 15 more to get. some are really hard to find

  • good work, i've just sat here and watched all 7 vids in one go.

    Expose has been shown on the horror channel a few times - t'was bobbins!!! I think it had Jacko from brushstrokes in it - the horror... the horror...

  • LOL, yes I believe he is in it. I think Code Red or someone are bringing this out on disc in the US, sometime in the forthcoming year!

  • also have heard of the following:

    *Human Experiment aka Beyond the Gate & *Delirium aka Psycho Puppet

    not sure if they were in your review but i thought they were also part of the list (sorry if you did mention them)

  • hey great job, really enjoyed watching it and learnt a fair few intersting things.

  • If you don't already have the book SHOCK! HORROR! by Brewster, Fenton, and Morris, then you should get it. All the video covers from the video nasties and then some. Some of their listed run-times for films is wrong, though. Still a great buy.

  • I don't have that one, I do have the books by Darkside magazine though.

  • I've been meaning to get that Anchor Bay Visiting Hours disc... I've still got a beat-up VHS. Strange it was labelled a video nasty as it's more of a psychological, clinical thriller/drama than a slasher, which is what it was marketed as. Quite good, I thought.

    Great video series, keep up the good work!

  • a film u mite wanna check out is invasion of the blood farmers, im getting it next week. no sure if it was passed uncut in UK

  • i know it surprised me when they showed it they also did show another video nasty tool box murders also was on late on the paranormal channel.

  • mountain of the cannibal god was shown on the paranormal channel only recently had all the bits left in but was on very late.

  • The "Paranormal Channel"? That's not their usual sort of film!

  • Very enjoyable... Thanks!

  • How's about doing reviews of the best,worst and the damnright wierdest films not on the DPP video nasties list?

  • Interesting idea, I will give it some thought!

  • have you seen flesh eating mothers?

  • Not yet!

  • You have a great collection. I have started collecting the video nasties. I managed to get a bootleg dvd of Night Of The Demon off ebay. My favourite of the Nasties is The Burning. I've got it on US, UK dvd and vhs.

  • Wow! That's priceless.

    Thanks for your quiick replies. Good luck to you.

  • How many DVD do you have now and what's your most prized DVD ?

  • About 300 and my UK Dawn of the Dead DVD as its been signed by the director cast & crew (see my "horror dvd collection" video)

  • Loved your dvd collection reviews. Ispit and NY Ripper UNCUT R2 Double Bill would indeed be Horror Buff Utopia.

    You are a true horror expert.

    I salute you DarkAngel !

    Have you seen Frontiers? If yes, is it any good?

  • Thanks for the comments, haven't seen Frontiers yet so can't say if its any good or not!

  • word is it's a cross beween Hostel and Switchblade romance.

    Where do you get the time to watch so many films ? I used to be hardcore but as i got older and have young kids i just can't devote the time to films, what with work and stuff.

    ps. Saw Prime evil kills last night , a croc movie. Not bad at all. Some good CGI and death's. Check it out, if you have not already.

  • Well I have been into collecting for many many years and as I don't have any kids at present I am free to watch what I like!

  • Frontiers is very good. If you like saw, hostel and switchblade romance then you will like this movie. It is quite graphic so be warned.

  • I watched all seven parts and I was amazed how many of these have been rated very poorly on IMDb.

  • Brilliant collection darkangel, my brother sold alot of his old VHS collection of nasties, they are such a great collectors item I wish he hadnt. Im surprised to see the werewolf and the yeti in your collection ive heard it is one of the hardest to get hold of, I heard its awful but what the hell. I saw on playdotcom that there is finally an uncut version of Last house on a 3 disc dvd avalible,they were only prolonging the inevitable eh?

  • A lot of films that are hard to find these days (on DVD anyway) were actually quite easy to find during the VHS days from some country or other, even if it was just on a bootleg tape or something.

    Yes Last House is FINALLY uncut in the UK. Who knows, maybe it'll be an uncut New York Ripper and I Spit on your Grave double bill next?

    :-)

  • Superb collection and very informative

  • a good beginners collection

  • BEGINNERS??????

  • lol beginners? look the fuck behind the guy! theres bloody hundreds of movies behind!

  • Have you forgot about "Human Experiments"? It's on the "Video Nasty" list

  • Nope, just haven't got that one yet. There's a few others too that I don't have, which are given a mention at the end of my final vid.

  • you don't mention Human Experiments, sorry to be picky, but overall I enjoyed your series of video nasties reviews, very good stuff.

  • DAWN OF THE DEAD was imported to Italy and retitled ZOMBI then Fulci did the unauthorized sequel calling it ZOMBI 2 then ZOMBI 2 was imported to the U.S. as ZOMBIE.

  • Watched all 7 parts , great stuff DA.

  • Why the amercians are allowed to view most of these movies uncut while we can't.

  • Because over there, the right the freedom of speech and expression takes precedence above all else.

    Over here its a case of freedom of speech and expression, as long as the government approves!

  • Ah, Visiting Hours... not only has the distinction of Will Shatner, but also causing a post-nasties furore when ITV showed the full uncut version in 1991 (the certified vid was cut, as the banned version had also been).

    Uncut now of course, and shown occasionally on Zone Horror.

  • I would hardly call the heavily censored UK DVDs of "Cannibal Ferox" and "House by the Edge of the Park" collectors items. They are butchered monstrosities, devoid of extras and the print quality is atrocious.

  • You should have the British release versions of the Nasties. Although some are trimmed they are the real collectors finds. And a true quest.

  • very good collection. i think we could chat for hours lol

  • Isn't there a scene involving Adult birth in Xtro.

  • Terror Eyes was decent. Xtro made me laugh my arse off many times!! Women Behind Bars was pretty shit.

    But Zombie Flesh Eaters is my 2nd fav Nasty (behind Evil Dead). But not my fav zombie film (not by a long shot)

  • oooooh

  • whered u get the werewolf and the yeti film at?

  • I used to deal with a chap who specialised in imported videos. Trouble was the popularity in DVD killed off the video market, so until these titles come to disc they remain elusive.

  • Thank you for taking time to do this video. I have the attention span of a gerbil on crack up Richard Gere's ass but I made it all the way through. Watched many of these videos in the 80's and seen most of them on shelves in video stores throughout my life. Educational trip down memory lane. Thanks again.

  • I,too,am a video nasty caollector! Of the films you mentioned, I have original UK pre-cert/first release videos of VISTING HOURS,THE WITCH WHO CAME FROM THE SEA,UNHINGED,and XTRO

  • wahts your favorite video nasty, how much money did u spend on your collection, and r u going 2 do a fallow up on the ones you didnt show?

  • Thats the Green Inferno AKA Natura contro. Not seen that one.

  • the alternate title to terror eyes is Night School

  • Thanks, I realised that afterwards, I just couldn't think at the time.

  • have you ever seen cannibal terror?

  • Not yet, haven't bothered with the UK disc due to lack of extras. I will however be picking up the US DVD when it comes out in July!

  • wot about cannibal holocaust 2?

  • There's at least 2 differant films bearing that title, are your reffering to Dutch DVD of "The Catherine Miles Story" or UK disc of "The Green Inferno"?

  • both

  • Started to watch "Catherine Miles..." but was bored by it. Not seen "Green Inferno" yet.

  • there the same thing

  • No, Catherine Miles Story and Green Inferno were 2 totally seperate films, which were retitled as Cannibal Holocaust 2 in differant countries.

    Go to the IMDB and type the following codes into the search box..

    tt0091902 (for the Catherine Miles Story)

    tt0161849 (for The Green Inferno)

  • o sorry wwich is the one were a woman called jemma and 3 men got to a jungle to find this proffesar?

  • i thought the Green Inferno was the "documentary" from Holocaust 1?

  • i dont no but in 1988 a film called the green inferno was made it was an unofical sequal to cannibal holocaust some pepol say its the last of the italien cannibal genre but theres no cannibals in it go on imbd and type in cannibal holocaust 2. and type in natura contro on wikepedia

  • strange... Well what was the documentary actually called in Holocaust?

  • wasnt that long road to hell

  • probably, i go check on Holocaust website

  • you can get an offical release of the werewolf and the yeti on spanish dvd but no english audio transfer

  • Ahh yes its called "Hall of the Mountain King"!

  • Have you ever bought anything from "WTF DVDs"? They sell VHS-DVD rips of all of the unavailable video nasties. Titles such as "Absurd" and "The Werewolf and the Yeti" are listed on their website. Just wondering because I am considering buying some rare horror DVDs, but am unsure whether they are going to steal my money! "Midnight Video" also sells such nasties.

  • If it was possible for you or if you had the recording and transfer of VHS/DVD to computer or within legal reasons, you would be a godsend to upload the VN's. I've seen about 45 of them so far

  • Cannibal Ferox is a nasty.

  • Indeed it is!

  • brought dead and buried and it is not a bad film im glad i brought it i got it with the bonus disc as you said not very gory but still very watchable.

  • i brought the nostril picker but it was total shit very low budget film i would not recommend any 1 buying it i dont know why it got banned in the first place.

  • I don't believe it ever was banned, it was certainly never listed as a video nasty.

  • you're collection is awesome, youre reviews on horror films are very helpful, keep up the good work.

  • how come zombie flesh eaters 2 - zombie 3 -

    and zombie flesh eaters 3 - zombie 4 didn't go to this list?

  • because they didnt come out until the late 80s. The nasties furore, and subsequent lists of banned works came out in the early 80's.

  • hmmmmm...makes sense :)

  • HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD is the best zombie movie ever!

  • Great collection of videos! How did you get this one to run over 10 mins? Do you watch any other types of cinema as passionatly as you do horror? Thanks

  • If you go over by a few seconds YouTube will give you a bit of slack, just as long all your videos aren't like it.

  • That's pretty sweet man, not the tyrants of the internet you would think.

  • Great videoes

  • Its never been released on DVD in my region but there is a french disk, but I don't suppose you could post some clips from "Project: Metalbeast" could you? I would be etaernally greatful as I cannot find clips from it anywhere.

  • Project Metalbeast? Thats a new one on me!

  • Its a pretty cool werewolf film with Barry Bostwick and it has Kane Hodder as the monster. Its been out of print in the US and Canada with no DVD in sight. I think the French DVD is the only release. Its good movie. You should check it out if the oppritunity presents itself.

  • Where can I get Werewolf and the Yeti.

  • Ignore me I didn't get to the end. Nice video.

  • you missed out exose.

  • Great Collections man :) I wish I had the money for all that lol or some really good friends in the video business.

  • You got a shaved horse shoe hair cut!Im sorry. Going Bald must really suck ass! I got greys and im only 22. Atleast I wont go bald!

  • I'm not bald, its a solar panel for a sex machine!

  • LMAO Your the man!

  • Was Basket Case on the list? It's another one of those bizarre, yet hilarious something weird releases.

  • No, it was probably out on video around that time, but was never included on he list. All the films I don't have that were on the list are mentioned at the end of this vid, so if its not mentioned anywhere in my videos then it wasn on the list.

  • Ok, look at this, we are collectors right. Take me for instance, I collect music and film. But I came to the conclusion that these are more ornamental items than entertainment, and that a pc game is more entertainment value than anything else in terms of accessibility, bearing in mind your weekly soap (tv) which isnt immediately accessible. You obviously have focus on movies but not everyone does. I just wanted to touch on that subject.

  • ...People used to come into the shop with brief cases of money buying these movies. Little did they know theyd all coome out on glossy dvd's!

  • Must adnit, I spent quite a bit of money buying various banned films from seedy video fairs back in the 90's, both bootlegs and imports. Had quite an impressive collection too, but now everythings available on DVD and can be mail ordered over the net, its not that impressive anymore.

    Collecting these days is a damnsite easier, but its nowehere near as fun as it was when these films were banned or just hard to get hold of.

  • Lol, very true. I just downloaded 4 music tracks from a u.s site, the same ones that someone was selling for £2500 on discogs (albeit on vinyl). Err, I think we are in a timewarp in europe!

  • 4 music tracks for 80 cents that is!

  • Its all very technical. Interesting that you base your collection on this.

    I worked in a video store many years ago and walking into the back of it was like a goldmine! My imagination ran wild. Being surrounded by hardcore porn and movies at 15 years old was alot to take in. I used to take them home in my schoolbag. I guess were two of a kind. Im kind of scuppered however bcos I like collecting rare music. Its a double weight on the purse strings, so have to be choosy.

  • ..."Maniac" that is

  • Wow, but it was banned for 25 yrs?

  • Any video that had not been classified by the BBFC by the time the VRA came into effect in 1984 was effectively "banned" as the new law prohibited the sale of unclasified materials.

    Many other films have been either rejected for classification or heavily censored by the board, or were otherwise unavailble for many years, that does not necessairly make them a "video nasty" in the true sense of the word.

  • Wot about "burning moon" and stuff like that?

    Theres quite alot of "biggies" not mentioned.

  • Burning Moon was never listed on the Department of Prosecutions hitlist.

  • "Maniac" is the best flick

  • Again though, Maniac was never listed as a video nasty!

  • Wow, Visiting hours is uploaded here on youtube. Thanks for the heads up, I have something to watch tonight.

  • i posted on the other parts about certain films you missed out only for you to mention them on this final part DOH!!that'll teach me to watch the full thing first!check out FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN it's fairly gory and bizzarly entertaining plus udo kier!say no more

  • ooo there was a dvd release of the werewolf and the yeti i saw it on ebay under a different name was in foreign language on the box grr wish i got it at the time havent seen it on there since all there is now is dvd r copys :(

  • It might have been a bootleg DVDr, I've certainly not seen it on disc anywhere and Chainsaw video don't stock it.

  • night of the zombies was kindy goofy but good fun to watch for a good laugh, the 2 lead swat guys (Vincent and the leader) are hot so that's a nice extra for the female fans like myself. Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox and Jungle Holocaust are great too.

  • zombi 2 is the best!!!

  • great collection mate, keep up the gud work, what do you think your next collection will be about?

  • Terror Eyes/Night School was not the only film to feature a killer wearing a helmet and motorcycle leather, Andrea Bianchi's STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER has a murderer who wears a similar costume and the killer in NAIL GUN MASSACRE wears a motorcycle helmet while he kills

  • Haven't seen those films, not sure if they were ever released over here.

  • Terror Eyes was released here in North America us NIGHT SCHOOL, the film is like an American giallo

  • Thanks for these videos. I agree the original TOOLBOX MURDERS is very good, atmospheric music score and acting from Mitchell that just stays on the right side of camp. But I also like Tobe Hooper's 'remake'. VISITING HOURS was ok but a better hospital horror thriller is TERMINAL CHOICE but not a Video Nasty (but then VISITING HOURS should never have been a Nasty.) FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (uncut) is well worth checking out, also the companion BLOOD FOR DRACULA. Anyway thanks again.

  • You've got Ben and Willard!
