Hope you can help.
I have a quick question…
Is the term “Video Nasty” used in the US?

Hmmm. I kind of want to watch all of those films just out of defiance.
If they did torture and kill real animals, well, I can't say I approve of that.
Taking a closer look at that list, it is quite strange. It’s titled “Scotland Yard’s Official List Of Video Nasties”. But there are some odd omissions. “Cannibal Holocaust” does not appear on your list, but was most certainly labelled a ‘Video Nasty’. If anything, it’s the most notorious, having been mistaken for ‘real’ snuff (apparently, the filmmakers had to recreate the impalement scene inside the courtroom, to prove that it wasn’t real). Your list also misses “Fight For Your Life”, even though the cover is pictured below the list. That one is still banned in the UK.Unless it's under a different title, CANNIBAL HOLOCOST (animal kills) is not on that list, but FACES OF DEATH is. I have CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE and its inclusion is laughable! It's pretty tame and fake looking. A lot of movies should not be on that list, come on, DEAD AND BURIED and THE BURNING? I guess the vine rape put EVIL DEAD on there, but it's funny, especially today, to think it was included.
I can't help conflating Mary Whitehouse with Dolores Umbrige in my imagination.
Anyhow, for the completionists out there, missing from that list are:
