As time has gone by and society become more liberal about horror movies, many films from the list have been resubmitted to the BBFC. In some cases they were passed with no difficulties, but a few of the more extreme cases were passed only with cuts, only for them to resubmitted again a few years later and released completely uncut in the present day (the most notorious and high-profile case of this being ''Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft''). Only a handful of films from the list still remain banned, but usually because they remain so obscure that nobody has bothered to resubmit them.[[note]]Of the 39 "official" nasties, seven - ''The Beast in Heat'', ''Blood Rites'', ''Fight for Your Life'', ''Forest of Fear'', ''Last Orgy of the Third Reich'', ''Love Camp 7'', and ''The Werewolf and the Yeti'' - have never received BBFC certificates to this day (though only ''Last Orgy of the Third Reich'' and ''Love Camp 7'' have been re-submitted). ''Snuff'' was passed uncut in 2003 but has yet to receive a home video release. Seven others - ''Cannibal Apocalypse'', ''Cannibal Ferox'', ''Cannibal Holocaust'', ''Cannibal Man'', ''Exposé'', ''Faces of Death'', and ''I Spit on Your Grave'' - have only been released with cuts to scenes involving rape or unsimulated animal cruelty.[[/note]] If you are able to find and view these films (most used to be incredibly rare and obscure; what were once considered Holy Grails amongst collectors are now widely available in this age of DVD) you will probably be shocked at how tame ''some'' of them are compared to today's standards what with films the likes of ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' and ''Film/{{Hostel}}''. In many cases, some films would have been tame even by ''those'' days' standards; often films were convicted of obscenity based on the cover[[note]]eg. the notorious cover of ''Film/TheDrillerKiller'' showing a man being [[ThisIsADrill drilled to death]][[/note]] or the GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath alone. Mary Whitehouse herself, apparently unfamiliar with the phrase "Never judge a book by its cover" or at least how it might to apply to a medium other than literature, admitted in an interview that she [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch never watched any of the films she railed against]] because she erroneously felt the stomach-churning covers and lurid titles spoke for their content. The featuring of the words "{{Cannibal|Film}}", "{{Zombie|Apocalypse}}" or anything associated with {{Nazis|ploitation}} in the film's title almost guaranteed inclusion on the list. Other films though, such as ''Cannibal Holocaust'', retain the power to shock and horrify.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E2VengeanceOnVaros "Vengeance on Varos"]] was intended as [[RippedFromTheHeadlines a satire of the Nasty craze]]. Due to its unusually dark tone (it was originally written with lots of comedy sequences, but they were all cut, and one scene originally PlayedForLaughs was rewritten to play it straight), relatively explicit sequences of torture and violence, and elements of {{Gorn}}, it was accused of [[ParodyRetcon being what it claimed to parody]]. The controversy over the level of violence in the story (and of several other stories from Seasons 21-22, especially [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks "Resurrection of the Daleks"]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E1AttackOfTheCybermen "Attack of the Cybermen"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E4TheTwoDoctors "The Two Doctors"]]) was among the reasons given for the cancellation of the original Season 23, and contributed to the general decline in popularity of the show in the mid-to-late 80s.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E2VengeanceOnVaros "Vengeance on Varos"]] was intended as [[RippedFromTheHeadlines a satire of the Nasty craze]]. Due to its unusually dark tone (it was originally written with lots of comedy sequences, but they were all cut, and one scene originally PlayedForLaughs was rewritten to play it straight), relatively explicit sequences of torture and violence, and elements of {{Gorn}}, it was accused of [[ParodyRetcon being what it claimed to parody]]. The controversy over the level of violence in the story (and of several other stories from Seasons 21-22, especially [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks "Resurrection of the Daleks"]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E1AttackOfTheCybermen "Attack of the Cybermen"]], and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E4TheTwoDoctors "The Two Doctors"]]) was among the reasons given for the cancellation of the original Season 23, and contributed to the general decline in popularity of the show in the mid-to-late 80s.

* In ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'', [[EvilInc Pentex]] owns a movie subsidiary, Slaughterhouse Videos, that it infests with evil spirits to infect viewers. Relatively little is said about the movies directly, but what is said always seems to be a reflection of the "worst" horror movies of the era in which the book was written, with the original BookOfTheWyrm implying they make Video Nasties, and later books describing movies which span Video Nasties, low budget gore fest slasher films, and "true events" videos of things like hostage situations, mass killings, car crashes, etc.

As time has gone by and society become more liberal about horror movies, many films from the list have been resubmitted to the BBFC. In some cases they were passed with no difficulties, but a few of the more extreme cases were passed only with cuts, only for them to resubmitted again a few years later and released completely uncut in the present day (the most notorious and high-profile case of this being ''Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft''). Only a handful of films from the list still remain banned, but usually because they remain so obscure that nobody has bothered to resubmit them.[[note]]Of the 39 "official" nasties, seven - ''The Beast in Heat'', ''Blood Rites'', ''Fight for Your Life'', ''Forest of Fear'', ''Last Orgy of the Third Reich'', ''Love Camp 7'', and ''The Werewolf and the Yeti'' - have never received BBFC certificates to this day (though only ''Last Orgy of the Third Reich'' and ''Love Camp 7'' have been re-submitted). ''Snuff'' was passed uncut in 2003 but has yet to receive a home video release. Seven others - ''Cannibal Apocalypse'', ''Cannibal Ferox'', ''Cannibal Holocaust'', ''Cannibal Man'', ''Exposé'', ''Faces of Death'', and ''I Spit on Your Grave'' - have only been released with cuts to scenes involving rape or unsimulated animal cruelty.[[/note]] If you are able to find and view these films (most used to be incredibly rare and obscure; what were once considered Holy Grails amongst collectors are now widely available in this age of DVD) you will probably be shocked at how tame ''some'' of them are compared to today's standards what with films the likes of ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' and ''Film/{{Hostel}}''. In many cases, some films would have been tame even by ''those'' days' standards; often films were convicted of obscenity based on the cover[[note]]eg. the notorious cover of ''Film/TheDrillerKiller'' showing a man being drilled to death[[/note]] or the GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath alone. The featuring of the words "[[CannibalFilm Cannibal]]", "[[ZombieApocalypse Zombie]]" or anything associated with [[{{Nazisploitation}} Nazis]] in the title of a film almost guaranteed inclusion on the list. Other films though, such as ''Cannibal Holocaust'', retain the power to shock and horrify.

In the 1980s, newly arisen video distribution companies in Britain got the idea to make a fast buck by disturbing cheesy, low-budget and, for the time, rather violent Italian and American horror films of the [[Film/{{Grindhouse}} ilk that on would later inspire]] Creator/QuentinTarantino and Creator/RobertRodriguez. Unfortunately, at the time there was no law that required videocassettes to be classified before being rented and anyone of any age could legally rent any video; so films such as ''Film/CannibalHolocaust'' and ''Film/ISpitOnYourGrave'' could be (and were) rented by children as young as 10.
