The New York Ripper (1982) – Day 19 – 31 Days of Halloween

This film has quite a reputation. It was submitted to the British Board of Film Classification for a rating. But it didn't receive a rating. The head of the BBFC was so disgusted with the film that he made sure it was actually escorted out of the country. Its still cut to this day after …
