"Don't Go in the Woods (1981)" is labeled a "video nasty" like "The Evil Dead (1981)", "Tenebrae (1982)", "Cannibal Holocaust (1980)", "The Burning (1981)", "The Last House on the Left (1972)", "I Spit on Your Grave (1978)", "Eaten Alive (1976)", "Cannibal Ferox (1981)", "The Driller Killer (1979)", "Don't Go in the House (1979)", "The Dorm That Dripped Blood (1982)", "Night School (1981)", "The Toolbox Murders (1978)", "A Bay of Blood (1971)", "Don't Answer the Phone! (1980)", and "The Prowler (1981)".
"Video nasty" was a term coined in the United Kingdom in the 1980s that originally applied to a number of films distributed on video cassette that were criticised for their violent content by elements in the press and commentators such as Mary Whitehouse. While violence in cinema had been a concern for many years, the lack of a regulatory system for video sales combined with the possibility of any film falling into children's hands led to new levels of concern. Many of these "video nasties" were low-budget horror films produced in Italy and the United States. The furore created by the moral crusade against video nasties led to the introduction of the UK's Video Recordings Act 1984 which imposed a stricter code of censorship on videos than was required for cinema release. Several major studio productions ended up being banned on video, falling afoul of legislation that was designed to control the distribution of video nasties.
