Those of us brought up in 70’s Britain, grew up to become emotional wrecks caused by one thing: Public Information Films.



Forget Alien, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, I Spit on Your Grave, Hostel, etc- when everyday events are turned into terror, then you will start to understand what real horror is…



And to our friends abroad-I am sure you have some Government Information Films that scare the sh"t out of you so share them…



Here are some gems:



Play Safe - Kites and Planes

The best Public Information Films were ran in schools during the 1950s & 60s.



This was during the Coldwar in the USA.



Little kids would watch videos in school about how in the event a Nuclear Bomb goes off…



Get under your desk, put your head between your lap, hands on your head…



Kiss your *** goodbye…
