Cuts like the "poker" scene murder in Cemetery were so common back in the 80's so it didn't surprise me that they cut it especially as the violence was directed at a woman. They might have considered passing a single shot of her being stabbed with a poker but 3 times and with the poker being embedded into her breast (or close to it) and all the blood gushing out etc there was no way it was going to pass. Quite a lengthy scene as well going on for over a minute. And the fact that it was a Fulci film didn't help either as all his films were being cut at the time. The BBFC's guidelines at the time were much stricter. Today it's all about nudity mixed with violence. There's no way they would cut the scene today though. It was last cut in 2001 because the BBFC were concerned about a conviction that supposedly took place in the 90's. I don't think there ever was one but they were playing it safe by cutting it again.
