Btw, if you want to have a laugh, here's an unintentionally funny documentary from the 80s (translates to "Mother Father Zombie - Horror for home use").
It's also seemingly very stiff, very serious by today's standards. That seemed professional back then.

(Sorry for the lack of English subtitles, I have no relationship with that video. 🤷♂️)
That '84 documentary is (was) about the medium videocassette and the danger that comes with it.
It was a very sceptical view on the then-new medium. You know, worried teachers, parents and so on. Brutality "on screen" etc.
It tries very hard to highlight the negative aspects, which might be the most funny part (a kid watching a trash film about cannibals eating a heart they've just ripped out of a nude woman's chest).
The youth back then was surprisingly relaxed, by contrast, when being interviewed.
While the adults were almost being traumatized by all the gore from Hollywood movies
(at the end of the video, where the parents do discuss things through like being at the therapist/in a support group). 😁
Edited.
Edit: I think the latter reaction is kind of paradox,
because parents in this era did still read very violent bed time stories with their children
(The Grimm Brother's fairytales, Max&Moritz, Struwwelpeter etc).
