Yes, I believe that is the reason.

It seems that the BBFC have passed 'The Holy Virgin Vs. The Evil Dead' with a '15' certificate

Shock Waves is a definite isn't it.

The film itself when you've seen the poster is one of the best cases of the Emperor's new clothes i can think of, but what fine clothes they are.

It's strange about The Creeping Flesh. The movie was released on DVD by DD Video (which happily I have) but pulled soon after due to rights issues. Now if Kevin Francis had anything to do with this I don't understand why that would be.
Kevin sitting on both The Ghoul and Legend Of The Werewolf are both from his company TYBURN so I can see that those are his property and it's up to him what he does. Stupid to do that but still, although The Ghoul was released on video in it's uncut form so why the problem now?
The Creeping Flesh is a TIGON movie and and apart from his father directing the film, Kevin had nothing to do with it as far as I know.
So, is Kevin Francis behind the The Creeping Flesh saga somehow or is something else?

The only thing I can think of is that Francis was given some control over the rights as part of his directing deal?

I made the same assumption Rob.
