The 15 Scariest Horror Movies That Were Banned According to Whatnerd

"In this day and age, with streaming services and online pirating so prevalent, we've have forgotten the illicit thrill of procuring the VHS tape of a banned movie—one that was usually a horror film. We're more open about extreme movies now, but back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for movies to be deemed "too violent," "too disturbing," or "too sick" for the general public. Banned horror movies are interesting as reflections of their time periods, allowing us glimpses into what was "too much" for their eras—and they often leave us confused as to why they were banned at all because they aren't as shocking to our modern sensibilities. Whether they live up to their past reputations or not, here are some of the scariest horror movies that were banned for being too terrifying, too grotesque, or simply too wicked." - whatnerd.com
