Prepare to be corrupted and depraved once more when Nucleus Films releases the definitive guide to one of the most extraordinary and scandalous eras in the history of British film, the video nasties phenomenon.

For the first time ever on DVD, all 72 films that fell foul of the Director of Public Prosecutions are trailer-featured with specially filmed intros for each title in a lavish three-disc collector's edition box-set, alongside a brand new documentary - Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship and Videotape, directed by Jake West.

Disc One contains trailers and intros for all 39 titles that were successfully prosecuted in UK courts and deemed liable to deprave and corrupt. These included: Absurd, Cannibal Holocaust, The Driller Killer, I Spit on Your Grave, Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Snuff & Zombie Flesh-Eaters.

Disc Two presents the 33 titles that were initially banned, but then subsequently acquitted and removed from the DPP's list. These included: Death Trap, Deep River Savages, The Evil Dead, Human Experiments, The Toolbox Murders & Zombie Creeping Flesh.

Both discs can be viewed either as a non-stop trailer show, or with newly-filmed introductions from a wide range of acclaimed media academics and notable genre journalists. Each disc is preceded by a brief introduction by cult horror presenter Emily Booth.

Disc Three contains Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship and Videotape, an era-defining documentary featuring interviews with filmmakers Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust), Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday), Christopher Smith (Severance, Black Death) and MP Graham Bright, as well as rare archive footage featuring James Ferman (director of the BBFC 1975-1999) & Mary Whitehouse. Taking in the explosion of home video, the erosion of civil liberties, the introduction of draconian censorship measures, hysterical press campaigns and the birth of many careers born in blood and videotape, West's documentary also reflects on the influence this peculiar era still exerts on us today.

Extras include a gallery of original video company idents and extensive gallery of lurid cover art for every video nasty.

Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide will be released on 3-disc DVD by Nucleus Films on 11th October 2010 at the RRP of £24.99.
