10 Original Cuts Of Horror Movies We'll Sadly Never See

10. Friday the 13th Parts 2-8 (Uncensored Versions)

The Friday the 13th series had a notoriously tough time with the censors.

The original film managed to get away with most of its bloody murder scenes, but as soon as Friday the 13th: Part 2 came around, the MPAA really began to crack the whip on the scenes of squishy slaughter - much to the chagrin of gore hungry audiences.

From there on, each film found itself at the mercy of the censors, who objected to pretty much every death scene on display, with Parts 5, 7, and 8 suffering the most. Most shots of explicit bloodshed, gore, and nudity were sadly banished to the grimy depths of the cutting room floor and never seen again.

As was the way these things were often done, it's likely that most of the raw footage was destroyed. What little remnants that have survived over the years have only served to tease fans with all manner of head-crushing and over-the-top sleeping bag beatings that really are a testament to the immense talent each film's special-effects team possessed.

Sure, the films as we know them are still pretty gruesome, but knowing what could have been will forever be a sore point for die-hard fans.
