Section 3 titles were liable to be confiscated under a 'less obscene' charge, which allowed the police to seize a film they considered obscene and as long as the dealer cooperated, they legally admit that the articles are obscene and therefore escape any personal prosecution.

What images are conjured by the simple words “horror film”? What are the first thoughts that crawl to mind, automatic and unbidden? Perhaps your mind wanders to a dark, shuttered house with creaking floorboards, where the spirits of prior residents refuse to rest in peace. Maybe you begin to picture the spindly, clawed fingers of an Edwardian vampire who has persisted through the centuries on a steady diet of human blood, or the half-decayed skull of a zombie, clawing its way up from a freshly disturbed grave. Maybe you picture none of the above, and your conception of “horror” instead focuses on the existential fears or mundanity of everyday modern life, or the sadists who just might be living next door. For the last century (and well beyond), horror cinema has encompassed all of these things, and so much more besides. As a genre, horror offers an avenue for dissecting the paranoia, distrust and biases experienced by any given generation, sublimated into popcorn entertainment. Horror films make an appeal to their audience’s anxieties and their fears, but also their hidden desires, shameful though they may be. It’s a film genre that plays to our basest instincts, such as our desire to be thrilled or titillated, but the same films can also occasionally provoke deep intellectual analysis or debate. Ultimately, horror films reflect what you put into them. Some are simply blood and guts—others are much more. With that thought in mind, allow us to introduce Paste’s Century of Terror project. Each day, for more than three months, we’ll be counting down the 100 greatest horror films of the past century. Beginning with 1920, a watershed year for the concept of cinematic horror, and continuing all the way to 2019’s pick on Halloween, we’ll choose a best film from every single year, whether it was a good era for horror, or one of the genre’s notorious fallow periods. Some entries will represent incredibly difficult choices between numerous classics of the genre. Others will force us to watch obscure new films for the first time, or niggle over what does or does not constitute “horror.” Overall, this will be an exercise in exploring the full breadth of the horror genre for the last 100 years, as we watch it survive and thrive in the face of everything society can throw at it. Truly, like a classic slasher villain, you can never keep horror down for long.
