Martin's not one of those die-hard pre-certers who only collect tapes. There are still some fellas that will never succumb to buying discs and have actually demonised them! There are a few who post on the Pre-cert forum!
Rik, the little boy in the picture is Martin's son. Martin is camera shy.
That said I know that I certainly had my "feel" of some great pre-certs back in the day when I was of a similar age! We had a video van that used to come down our street once a week and I have vivid memories of catching my dad watching ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH and being told to leave the room! Being alowed to see the wonderfully shocking climax of CARRIE, but not it's beginning because of the nudity! I also saw the beginnings of both THE FOG and DEAD AND BURIED, both of which I decided not to sit through because was frightened beyond belief!
