watching the marathon today on AMC and glad that it is censored. This way I don't have to put my hands in front of my eyes at the gory parts. LOL! BTW, it is ironic that AMC's "catch phrase" for this month is "gory matters here" and they are showing the censored versions! (I know this is a take-off on "story matters here" but still.)
shareIt couldnt have been censored that much because I saw a lot of blood and gore.
shareHi TrickGum (lol, I had trick gum from the Johnson-Smith Co. when I was a kid, but that's another story)...well when I watched the marathon today, I can swear that the killings were more graphically depicted when I rented the VHS's years ago, and when I watched the AMC versions today, you could see that a weapon, etc. was being used (or a killing was happening) but, you didn't see it actually...it was a sense of....yes, this happened, but it didn't show it while it was happening. (In a lot of cases.)
Anybody? Am I imagining this or were the uncut versions extremely more gory?
No, Chris, you're not. I just got done watching this and reading the threads and a lot of people have complained about the seemingly arbitrary censoring of the gore in this Friday and others. Like, it's ok to riddle a killer with bullets and freeze-dry a person's face and smash it to bits but I think the actual decapitation of the girlbot was slightly eradicated and other scenes had, as you say, the actual act of violence removed. By the way, like how you picked up on the "gory starts here". The movies most likely weren't cut by AMC, since The Walking Dead is one of the bloodiest and graphically violent shows on TV. (sure, they're only zombies, but it's still very graphic). But it does make you think about a franchise like Friday being cleaned up for a FearFest Halloween slasher film marathon.
