Existing research on British censorship during the 1940s has often favoured the notion that a so-called ‘H’ ban effectively upheld the import, production, and exhibition of the horror film in Britain during the later-half of the Second World War. However, through an analysis of contemporary critical reception and censorship discourses, it becomes apparent how this ‘ban’ was nowhere near as clearly defined as is often argued. While the ‘H’ ban may have succeeded in barring a small number of low-brow fantasy horror films from cinema screens the genre prevailed in various guises, with the films of producer Val Lewton bringing about a shift away from fantasy towards representations of the everyday. Furthermore, the role of the script supervisor at the British Board of Film Censors clearly demonstrates an alternative to censorship through an involvement with the studios prior to production in order to avoid such restrictions. This article therefore presents an analysis of such negotiations at the BBFC during this period, with Lewton production of The Body Snatcher (Wise, 1945) representing an example of how horror remained a fixture on British screens, through both self-censorship and a move away from the type of film typically associated with the ‘H’ classification.
现有的关于20世纪40年代英国审查制度的研究往往倾向于这样一种观点，即所谓的“H”禁令实际上支持了第二次世界大战后半期恐怖电影在英国的进口、制作和展览。然而，通过对当代批评接受和审查话语的分析，可以明显看出，这一“禁令”的定义远没有人们经常争论的那么明确。虽然“H”禁令可能成功地禁止了少量低俗的奇幻恐怖电影上映，但这一类型的电影以各种形式盛行，制片人瓦尔·勒顿的电影使人们从幻想转向了日常表现。此外，英国电影审查委员会（British Board of Film Censors）的剧本监督员的角色清楚地表明，为了避免这种限制，在制作之前与制片公司合作，可以替代审查。因此，本文对这一时期BBFC的此类谈判进行了分析，Lewton制作的《夺身者》（Wise，1945）代表了一个例子，说明恐怖是如何通过自我审查和远离通常与“H”类电影相关的类型而在英国银幕上保持固定的。
