Censored Screams

The book explores the censorship challenges faced by Hollywood horror films in the UK during the early 1930s, particularly due to the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC). It delves into the specific codes introduced, such as "A" for adults and "H" for horrific content, which restricted viewership to those 16 and older. By analyzing the reasons behind the censorship and its implications, the work highlights how these actions contributed to the decline of Hollywood's golden age of horror cinema.
