Own one of the most celebrated books ever published on the Video Nasty era with this signed limited edition hardbackof The Art of the Nasty by Nigel Wingrove and Marc Morris. Published by FAB Press, this beautifully produced collector’s edition explores one of the most controversial chapters in British film history through hundreds of rare and unforgettable video sleeve designs.
Originally released as an expanded and revised hardback edition, The Art of the Nasty reproduces almost 450 pre-certificate video covers in stunning full colour. In addition, it examines the moral panic, media outrage and political pressure that led to the infamous Video Nasties legislation of the early 1980s. As a result, it has become an essential reference book for horror fans, film historians and collectors alike.
Written by respected film historians Nigel Wingrove and Marc Morris, the book covers everything from notorious banned titles such as Cannibal Holocaust, SS Experiment Camp and I Spit on Your Grave to lesser-known exploitation classics. Furthermore, the detailed commentary places each release within the wider history of home video and censorship in Britain.
This signed limited edition hardback is far more than a reference book. Instead, it is an impressive visual archive of exploitation cinema and vintage video artwork. The high-quality production, combined with the authors’ signatures, makes it especially desirable for collectors of horror books and film memorabilia.
Whether you collect Video Nasty memorabilia, signed horror books, FAB Press publications or rare film reference books, The Art of the Nasty remains one of the finest books ever published on cult and exploitation cinema.
