Each volume contains
11 cartoons that were banned or censored at some point in the US. Looking back
at some of them with 21st century eyes, it’s hard to tell what was
offensive about them. Some of them were too “spicy” for the era, such as Betty
Boop’s garter belt. Others have racial stereotypes, wartime propaganda, cruelty
to animals, or whatever else the censors didn’t like at the time (or now). They
are offered in this section, instead of Animation, because they are only being
offered to collectors, as well as for
those that either want to see how things were viewed back then, or want to use
them as an example of how things used to be. I an not offering them to
promote any specific political, sexual, or racial statement. Each
volume is only available on DVD.

This is the FULL VERSION, that has the “bondage” scene that is often missing from the movie. Black & white. Available on VCD & DVD.
Gorgo
This 1961 British version of Godzilla is surprisingly good. The monster suits are just as cheesy, but the London background ads a few new items for Gorgo and his mother to destroy. Color. Available on VCD.

anti-non-drug film. The story revolves around a business man who’s daughter
gets involved with a dealer (the anti-drug part). He then meets up with Joe,
who’s basically an Archie Bunker type with an attitude and a gun (this is the
anti-anti-drug part. See, everyone’s portrayed badly here, so every one can be
equally offended). Available on VCD.

Obviously, this wasn’t filmed in D.C. The zombies would have starved to death. Available on VCD.
An oceanographer and a government investigator team up to solve a series of murders. As it turns out, the murders are caused by a sea monster guarding a uranium mine. If that isn’t enough to interest you, there’s also a sexy Russian spy that’s trying to blackmail the monster’s creator. 1956. Black and white. Available on VCD.

Reefer Madness -- A.K.A. – Tell Your Children
This is the 1938 movie that convinced American lawmakers to make marijuana illegal. The “facts” are distorted, and often made up. Then again, this is a propaganda film, NOT a documentary.

The movie features Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, Sunshine Sammy Morrison, Dave O'Brien, David Gorcey and Angelo Rossitto. Black and white. Available on VCD.
This is the movie that the word svengali came from. The story is of course ridiculous, since hypnosis can’t make a person do something that s/he is opposed to. But then again, the movie was made in 1931, when Hollywood didn’t have to make believable stories to have a hit. The movie stars John Barrymore as Sven. Available on VCD.
A group of teens stumble unto a mad scientists’s lair. Now it’s up to them to save her victims and get to the authorities in time. Think Scooby Do without the talking dog or rubber masks. Unintentionally funny, though. Available on VCD.
Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff star in this ghost story set in France. Jack is an officer in Napoleon’s army, trying to prove that Karloff is housing a ghost in his castle. Roger Corman directed this movie in three days (and it shows). He recycled as many of the sets as possible from The Raven, which he had just completed. The sets were literally being torn down as the movie was being made. 1963. Color. Available on VCD.
This is the German 1932 classic vampire tale based on the Sheridan Le Fanu story, Carmilla. It is in German, but has American subtitles & story cards, which makes it look as if it’s half silent, half “talkie. Black & white. Available on VCD.
A Hollywood starlet inherits a castle that’s also the home of a vampire party animal that happens to look like her. Soon, no one knows which is which, as the vampire takes advantage of the situation. I believe the movie is Italian. It has been dubbed into English. Color. Available on DVD.
Gamera saves the world from the giant monster Barugon. 1966. Available on VCD.
A transsexual comes back from fighting in Viet Nam, ready to get sexual reassignment surgery. While she’s undergoing her hormone replacement therapy, she must face life with a sexist aunt, and a bully from her past life as a man.

The movie stars Gloria Moon, Dane Clark, and Joan Blondell. 1983. Available on VCD.
