[IL COMMISSARIO]

It only amounts to around 10 seconds anyways, yes?

[grantwal]

Its not only cut its got a scene thats masked! A complete fuck up.

TALES FROM THE CRYPT was shown uncut on BBC1 around Christmas 2006, the first time it had been screened uncut on television, with all the extra intestine footage intact. I had to pause my recording and check it against the old Fox double bill pre cert just to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Lovely to see it, totally unannounced and unexpected, and then of course the DVD followed several months later.

I made my own uncut composite fan DVD of this one - and it comes with a colour trailer too

Sadly the BBC1 showed it in fullscreen though and it was CH4 that showed it in widescreen.

anyone know if any of the others in the amicus series were made into paperbacks other than these two?

DR TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS was definitely a paperback as well as THE UNCANNY. THE MONSTER CLUB book was republished version of R Chetwynd Hayes original short stories.

Hi Amy

Yeah the old VHS was cut, but only marginally - nothing too drastic, I was watching that version for 30 years before I even knew it was cut

I've just written a little something on this for MovieMail:
The first half-hour of Amicus’s Tales from the Crypt (1972) — based on stories derived from Bill Gaines’ legendary 1950s EC Comics series — is surely up there with the best of that classic, 1957-to-1974 cycle of colour British horror cinema.
An efficient and suitably ominous prologue is swiftly followed by two lively stories that illustrate just how much fun the ostensibly straight-laced and undemanding British horror film could be in the hands of a skilled journeyman director (in this case Freddie Francis) and solid, unpretentious performers.
