hmm
its different for everyone really. For me personally I still cant watch those scenes in CH but can easily watch anything else. Maybe not real Mondo but I think its a bit physiological really as in my mind I know it was real so it disturbs me more. Just like I refuse to watch real deaths in Mondo films.
