I grew up in the 80s, the era of the VCR and video rentals. I had a sister 9 years older than me, and all of my friends had older siblings. I saw so much shit I wasn't supposed to see as a young child -- Nightmare on Elm Street, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Faces of Death, etc. -- and those fucking monkeys in the Wizard of Oz scared me more than anything else I saw on film during that time of my life.

Slightly before then one had wait for them to show an edited for tv version to possibly air. This was the biggie so a kid might catch it once a year.
