Ultimate Spooktober List
A subgenre of exploitation films in which a person is raped, left for dead, recovers and then exacts a graphic, gory revenge against the rapists. It is not unusual for the main character in these films to be a successful, independent city woman, who is attacked by a man from the country.
A supplementary list was issued along with the official list which featured a list of so-called "Section 3 Video Nasties". Titles on the Section 3 list could not be prosecuted for obscenity but were liable to seizure and confiscation under a 'less obscene' charge. Tapes seized under Section 3 could be destroyed after distributors or merchants forfeited them.
Most of the feature films and some shorts shown at the LUFF. (Sorted by release date.)
Some titles are NSFW and thereby blocked on trakt.

Cassandra Peterson played the spunky goth Elvira hosting "Elvira's Movie Macabre," a late-night B-movie show running from 1981-86 with a couple sporadic revivals. Her bubbly wit serves the perfect counterpoint to campy horror gore, making her an unforgettable part of horror culture.
