ZOMBIES, VAMPIRES, etc - BANNED - 1948

The Commonwealth Film Censorship Board was established in 1917. Its remit – to view, register and censor all films imported from overseas.

The Board operated under Customs regulations. Films could be refused registration for a number of reasons, including blasphemy, obscenity and their likelihood to ‘incite [audiences] to crime’. The last, catch-all reason for banning a film, was if it ‘depict[ed] any matter the exhibition of which is undesirable in the public interest’. Determining whether a film could be banned for any of these reasons was up to the personal judgement of the members of the Board.

Films permitted to screen in Australia could receive one of 3 classifications: G (General), A (Not Suitable for Children) or SOA (Suitable for Adults Only). These ratings were advisory only, and not legally enforceable by cinemas, like MA and R ratings now. Children could see Adults Only movies. However, cinemas were required to include ‘adults only’ on their advertising. If they didn’t, it could earn both the cinema and distributor a reprimand.

One file in the National Archives collection shows that several theatres were flouting the advertising rules for Frankenstein in 1932. In one case, the Tivoli Theatre in Brisbane not only omitted ‘adults only’ from their ads, it also offered children half price tickets.

If there was a time to strike against horror movies, it was 1948. The genre was in a slump. The great Universal monsters were a subject of parody. In 1947, not a single horror film was released in Australia.

In his statement, Chief Censor J Alexander declared:

“This type of film has no cultural or entertainment value and its appeal extends only to a very limited section of the community, a section whose mental outlook should not be fed with films of this nature. In addition, such films are a source of potential danger to women in a delicate state of health”.

Of course, the horror ban didn't last forever. Outside Australia's censorship bubble, the genre resurged with new stars, directors, and takes on classic monsters. By the 1960s, some horror movies even started to slip through to Australian audiences, like Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho in 1960 and Roger Corman’s Tales of Terror in 1964. The Age's film critic Colin Bennett slyly noted '…now that "reputable" artists like Hitchcock are returning to the genre with commercially important films, he [the censor] is easing up on the ban.'

Societal attitudes to censorship as a whole were also changing. 1968 High Court case Crowe v Graham redefined the way censorship restrictions were interpreted. The same year, the horror ban was lifted after 20 years.

What’s On in Copenhagen: July 2018

We’re deep into summer and there’s something to do in Copenhagen almost every day and night of the week. From great music festivals (including Copenhagen Jazz Festival!) to films to flea markets and so much more, your diary is about to get very full.

Before Sunrise at Cinemateket

Need summer romance inspiration? Richard Linklater’s class, quiet European backpacker romance, “Before Sunrise” spawned two sequels, but the original is the best.
