Sam Raimi’s uproarious debut was the very first title acquired by Scala boss Stephen Woolley’s new company Palace Pictures. It would become a hugely influential film. But its release fell foul of the so-called ‘Video Nasty’ farrago, which threatened home-entertainment distributors with historic legislation that was designed to curb obscenity.
