Did you agree with the banning of films, the cuts made to many films? Were the nasties really that nasty?

I remember, just, the panic surrounding Child's Play 3 during the James Bulger case. As a very young child i was under the impression Child's Play 3 was to blame for the tragic event that occurred. Of course later in life i learned this not to be the case.

I have many memories of going to the little independent video rental stores as a child in the 90's and seeing all the amazing vhs covers, and mainly being attracted to the horror genre. Many stood out, but Fright Night probably stood out the most, i used to think it was awesome.

Through doing some reading on the subject, it became apparent that this wasn't a left vs right thing in the 80's, as both parties were equally against the 'video nasty' as it were.

I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on the hysteria surrounding the panic throughout the 80's and 90's?
