Well 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.

How many of the nasties films have you got?

The only original things I've got of Bruce Lee are 2 Green Hornet vids!

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

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

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

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
