HORROR COLLECTIONS - THE DPP39Well everyone (most) of us enjoys collecting something; whether it be lladro figurines, beer mats or films - i enjoy collecting films which were dubbed the Video Naties, and which were duly banned in 1984; after this date films were given an 18 certificate - so the horrors prior to the certification are X rated or R rated horrors and are collectively known as pre cert horrors. These are highly collectable and become harder to get as each year goes by (thus up in value too).The DPP39 is a much harder set of film, comprising of the aforementioned video nasties banned in 1984...................as there are only 39 to get the prices vary: the easy ones to get - you can pick up on e bay for £10, £15 or £20; but the harder ones run into the hundreds of £'s some you may have heard of are: The Burning Zombie Flesheaters The Snuff Expose Cannibal Ferox among 34 others they must be original and not the remakes (a little like collecting books where the 1st editions are worth something, whereas everything else is a reprint) - so anything with 18 is no good phew, hope you enjoyed reading |

Ah so that's the DPP39......I remember seeing a collection of previously banned films (either on Amazon or at a bootfair) but I didn't look to see what was in it!
It's not the type of thing I'd collect but it sounds like you've got quite a valuable collection there Scorp if you ever decide to sell them. |
| Scorpio |
some are yes
i also collect the original releases of bruce lees films (which i have all five of - not easy to get, believe me) |
| Catnapper |
How many of the nasties films have you got?
The only original things I've got of Bruce Lee are 2 Green Hornet vids! |
| Scorpio |
i sold my collection 10 years ago - i had 22 or 23
i started re-collecting very recently................i have 3 Last house on the Left zombie flesheaters and Tenebrae but also a few pre certs that number will go up, with the easier to get films check your hornet vids, they may be old, especially if they are in carton boxes or big old padded boxes.............i have enter the dragon on vhs and beta, fist of fury on bet, way of the dragon on beta, big boss on vhs and beta and game of death on vhs |

Nice.... I have to say I have only seen a few of them....Is the Snuff good Scorps??
The Beast in Heat sounds like another I would want to see just for the shock value 
|
| Scorpio |
beast in heat is total crap
the snuff is an argentinian film called slaughter that flopped big big time - so a director bought the film 5 years later and hired the cast to change the end.......to a pretend snuff made availbale to the public as REAL the last 4 minutes (the snuff part) is worth watching for a giggle the burning is very good though |
| Lucifer_666 |
There is a good few of those types of Nazi torture/s&m films out there isn't there?? I think I seen one years ago but I don't think it was Beast in Heat...in saying that it was crap too
I have heard about the Snuff movie but I didn't realise the story behind it ....the last part sounds intriguing I'll try to get The Burning 
|
| Scorpio |
the burning stands up today - a little like friday 13th
snuff has a torture scene that we can see is fake - but good for the time here is the full list: Absurd Anthropophagous the Beast Axe The Beast in Heat Blood Bath Blood Feast Blood Rites Bloody Moon The Burning Cannibal Apocalypse Cannibal Ferox Cannibal Holocaust The Cannibal Man Devil Hunter Don't Go in the Woods......Alone The Driller Killer Evilspeak Expos'e Faces of Death Fight For Your Life Frankenstein (Andy Warhol's) Forest of Fear The Gestapo's Last Orgy The House by the Cemetery House on the Edge of the Park I Spit on Your Grave Island of Death The Last House on the Left Love Camp 7 Madhouse Mardi Gras Massacre Night of the Bloody Apes Night of the Demon Nightmares in a Damaged Brain Snuff SS Experiment Camp Tenebrae The Werewolf and the Yeti Zombie Flesh Eaters mostly crap, believe me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

i now have 33 of the 39
woohoo |
| Catnapper |
Good luck on finding the rest of them Scorp
|
| Scorpio |
probably no hope i'm afraid LOL |
| Lucifer_666 |
Only six to go though bud..you never know ..you done well to get the ones you already have
|
| Catnapper |
Trouble is, once you start collecting a series of anything. you feel compelled to carry on till you have the whole set
But 33 out of the 39 is good going Scorp
|
| Scorpio |
i have a few more lined up - but it is the elusive devil hunter, expose and beast in heat that everyone struggles on
but, i will try and try and try till i get them |
| Catnapper |
Your collection should be worth a fair amount when you get them all! |
| Scorpio |
a few grand i would suppose (more toward 4) |
| Lucifer_666 |
I'll give you two for them Bud 
|
| Catnapper |
Sold to the gentleman in red
|
| Lucifer_666 |
Something tells me Scorps won't be selling ...i hope 
|
| Scorpio |
LOL, no i'll keep em |
| Lucifer_666 |
Phew.  .. I don't have 2 thousand that handy
|
| Catnapper |
What happens when you collect them all Scorp....are there other horror films you want to collect? |
| Scorpio |
once i get the 39 (which will hopefully take me another year) i will then move on to the DPP74 - which is the list that the director of public prosecutions (DPP) compiled before whittling down to the banned 39 nasties
and there are some really difficult ones in there too soon |
| Catnapper |
It should keep you busy collecting for a while!
Have you watched them all? |
| Scorpio |
not all of them - most are absolute 5hite.............
well worth the time, moey and effort ........here is the last tape i bought:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAP...RK:MEWAX:IT&item=250372787826 |
| Catnapper |
17 bids.....no wonder it costs a lot to buy them!
Is this film any good or is it one of the rubbish ones?!
|
| Scorpio |
i bought it cheap - go to goofbay and type in island of death and the one before mine sold for £225
the film is crap - its just part of the nasties brigade |
