The
Anthropophagus Beast, A Blade in the Dark, The New York
Ripper
Horror films continued to cause controversy: in the
United Kingdom, the growth in home video led to growing
public awareness of horror films of the types described
above, and concern about the ease of availability of
such material to children.
Many films were dubbed "video nasties" and banned (notably foreign films such as
The
Anthropophagus Beast, A Blade in the Dark, The New York
Ripper and Tenebre but US and Canadian films like
Madman, Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Don't Go in the
House & Maniac).
Gail Lawrence in Maniac
In the USA, Silent Night, Deadly Night,
a very controversial film from 1984, failed at theatres
and was eventually withdrawn from distribution due to
its subject matter: a killer Santa Claus.
