Video Nasties! was the first ever Dark Side book and it proved a sellout hit. Now it has been reprinted, and in an ultra-glossy new edition which has been updated to include reviews of the most infamous titles on DVD, plus information on how you can build your very own Nasties collection on disc. Video Nasties is available right now, and we suggest you order your copy fast because the print run is limited!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... The dawn of the video age also brought the birth of the so-called "Video Nasties". Suddenly a whole new world of uncensored horror opened up for UK genre buffs. For all too short a time, movies like Driller Killer, The Last House On The Left, Zombie Flesh Eaters and Cannibal Holocaust were legally available in an uncut form, and we grabbed our viewing chances while we could.Then in 1984 came the dreaded "Bright Bill" that outlawed non-certificated videos, and sent the Video Nasties underground. Horror fans in search of forbidden thrills would thereafter use the DPP's hit list of banned titles as their shopping guide, picking up bootleg copies at car boot sales and via carefully worded adverts in horror mags. But now they are back with a vengeance in Video Nasties!, a 164-page, full colour book containing the original full-size video sleeves for every one of the 75 movies that earned themselves a feel of the collar from the local constabulary! Every beautifully reproduced sleeve is accompanied by full cast, credits and running time, plus a concise and informative up-to-date review written by Dark Side editor Allan Bryce. This picture-packed volume really is the last word on the "Nasties" phenomenon and includes an introductory feature putting the history of video censorship in context
