In Banned From Television II, witness the most shocking real life events ever caught on tape. The censors have banned these adrenaline charged moments from television. But now in this unbelievable video you can see first hand an FBI drug bust gone bad, a vicious pit bull attack, horrifying accidents and an explicit sex video of Tonya Harding and Jeff Gilooly. There are no actors and no scripts. Everything is raw, real and... Banned From Television!

For the past eight years Australian filmmaker Tony Lawrence has been working almost exclusively with 8mm and 16mm found footage and home movies. He now has a collection over 300 films which bare the physical effects of time, chemical decay, and even rot and mould which he further manipulates to create new works that draw attention to the materiality of the medium. His work has won many
Underground Film Festival awards. Tony says “the affect of decay, grit and damage on these films often forms the context of how I piece together these works.” He goes on to compose strangely haunting electronic soundtracks and use various transfer techniques to convey different moods and create these dreamlike explorations of memory and time.

In December 1980, a 2429.20-meter (88:33) print of ZOMBI HOLOCAUST was Refused Registration. The reason given was violence, which was described as being:
Frequency: Frequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
Following its theatrical run, ZOMBI HOLOCAUST was issued on tape by Starbase Video. This 83:18 (PAL) video was presumably the same as the censored R-rated version.
ZOMBI HOLOCAUST is a 1980 Italian horror film directed by Marino Girolami. The film is about a team of scientists who follow a trail of corpses in New York to a remote Indonesian island where they meet a mad doctor who performs experiments on both the living and dead in his laboratory. The team face both zombies and cannibals in an attempt to stop the doctor.
Disturbing, Wierd, Obscure, Sion Sono, Bizarre, Adults Only, Abstract; DVD - New and Sealed
Anyone who wants evidence to support the stereotype of the bizarre, repression-revealing Japanese film need look no further than the works of Sion Sono. Strange Circus, on the other hands, starts off with a scene that basically says, "Yeah, this is going to be trippy. Fasten your seatbelts."
And it all gets weird from there.
This disc unfortunately does not have English sub-titles

Meditative and trancelike, Frankenstein’s Bloody Nightmare is an avant-garde mood piece. It is complex, abstract, and totally frustrating., but has pockets of immense fun. Like the scene where Victor Frankenstein gives his creature a handjob, which then morphs into a fist-and-arm-job.
Brilliant young Victor Karlstein finds himself in an abyss of personal turmoil and professional stress after the woman he most likely seemed to love dies while under the care of his own mysterious medical facility. Determined to keep her alive Victor uses his mechanically-enhanced reanimated corpse to murder young women in order to furnish "raw parts" for her new body among other devious things. A grainy echo of experimental and fantastic films of years past rendered in wild splashes of saturated super-8 cinematography Frankenstein's Bloody Nightmare is the debut feature from writer/producer/director John R. Hand.

3 disc (2xDVD + CD soundtrack) box set release of this rare Aussie cult classic from 1975. Includes 20 page booklet. This copy is 'as new' but unsealed - RARE to find in this condition!
Four young heroin addicts scour the streets of Melbourne in search of some good-quality narcotics – or as they call it, ’pure shit’. In the space of 48 hours, a friend dies of an overdose, they are ripped off by criminals and arrested and assaulted by police. They bungle a break-in, get chased by hooligans and one is sent to a methadone clinic. The search for drugs veers between farce and tragedy, but it never stops.
Australian, Horror, Gore, Independent, Underground, Low Budget; DVD
This is a riot from start to finish and shouldn't be missed. Yes it is low budget and it is obvious that the ambition of the film makers is sometimes sacrificed, but if you take this into account then you can really appreciate the qualities this feature has to offer. It is hilarious with some good performances, particularly from the leads. There is a proud history of off kilter horror gems from the land down under and IKHMRYSLS continues this trend and deserves to be considered in the same league as Bad Taste or Black Sheep. The film makers, Doug Turner and Stacy Edmonds show real promise in their debut and I hope they make another film soon.
