HORROR, SCI-FI AND MORE PRESENTS: ALL HALLOW'S EVE PART 2: THE RETURN OF THE 31 DAYS OF HORROR.....DAY 11.

 Day 11: The sick and demented begin their killing and torture.....
 
My pick for the 11th day of All Hallow's Eve Part 2 is....
 
 
While traveling to Canada to attend the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear in Toronto, co-director and writer Fred Vogel was arrested, pending charges of transporting obscene materials into Canada, when copies of Mordum and its predecessor were found by customs officials among the merchandise he had intended to bring to the convention. The charges were dropped, after Vogel had spent roughly ten hours in customs prison, and his films were sent to Ottawa for further observation.

Copies of Mordum were confiscated by Australian customs officials in 2004, the reason given for the seizure of the DVDs being that "they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be imported".

The exploitation film database The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre has Mordum ranked as the third most "vile" film viewed by the website, below Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom and The Angel's Melancholy. The review of the film (which is categorized as "worthless") referred to it as "pointless hardcore depravity".
