Famous Movies That Have Been Banned All Over the World

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

This horror masterpiece still holds up to today's standards. With its unapologetic gore, refusal to let the good guy win, and its counterculture overtone, there's no wonder why this movie got demonized when it was released in 1974. This movie always has been, and will forever be, one of the most important horror films to ever exist. 

Blood and Guts? No Thank You!

This movie got banned in West Germany, Singapore, and numerous Scandanavian countries because of its disturbing imagery and violent theme. Believe it or not, this movie is still censored in some of the places that it was originally banned. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the grandfather of the slasher genre, and it deserves a watch if your local government permits it.
