Cavern Spanking

Update Aug. 2021 - I think I have identified another Cavern movie.  I don't know anything about the original release but I believe that a 55-minute version was released in the US by CalStar under the name 'The Truant Officer' and a 28-minute version was included on Moonglow North Compendium Two (Moonglow DVD no. N05) under the name 'Striptease Schoolgirls'.  The story involves two schoolgirls who skip school in order to dance at a strip club but they are caught, and suitably punished, by a Truant Officer'.  There is still one Cavern movie that I haven't been able to identify.

Just hours after writing the above I found what I believe is the last missing Cavern movie.  Again, I don't know anything about the original release but I believe that a 35-minute version was released in the US by CalStar under the name 'Naughty Lodger' and a 19-minute version was included on Moonglow North Compendium Six (Moonglow DVD no. N09) under the name 'Spanks for the Spliff'.  The story involves a girl found in position of a marijuana cigarette (a 'spliff' in English slang).

Almost a year ago, in May 2020, I started working my way through the Cavern Spanking films.  I’ve learned a lot in that year and, though I haven’t learned all that I would like, I seem to have learned all that I can.  Consequently, I’m going to delete my May 2020 filmography, that has been updated a couple of times since then, and replace it with this one.  There are about three more Cavern movies that I would like to review then I will move on.

What I know is that Mel & Alison Payne (aka Alison de Bret, Lisa Payne and Lisa Wiggin) seem to have appeared on the English spanking movie scene about 1992.  They appeared in a couple of Kane movies and then started making their own.  Their early movies (1993-99) were mostly sold to Spanking for Pleasure and these movies were eventually sold through a website called Cavern Spanking which was run by Jardale Publishing (which also ran several other SfP websites).  The Cavern Spanking website operated from late 2003 through 2016 when most of the Jardale websites were shut down.

In 1999, Mel joined with Moonglow to create Moonglow North.  He continued making movies and distributing them through Moonglow North until about 2007 (Alison retired from making new movies about 2005).  During his Moonglow years he released 8 compendiums that included versions (sometimes edited) of his earlier movies.  I don’t know what Mel & Alison have been doing since Moonglow North stopped producing new work.

I have also seen some information that suggests there were other principals involved with Cavern Spanking and the differing styles among the Cavern movies is certainly consistent with that possibility.  One of the other principals may be the actor known as Anthony Lawton but I can't confirm that. 

I think there were 41 Cavern movies (and maybe a few more) produced between 1993 and 1999.  This number is based on the catalogue numbers from the Cavern website but it isn’t certain.  I have been able to identify all 41 of those movies and they are listed in the table below.  Some of the movies were also released by CalStar and 6666 Productions and those, along with the versions on the Moonglow North Compendiums, are frequently renamed which creates a great deal of confusion.  I have listed the alternate names where I know them.  Many of the dates given below are from the disclosure statements at the beginning of the CalStar release of the movies, if there was one.

The catalogue numbers are from the Cavern Spanking website and the refer to a VHS tape or DVD rather than a specific movie.  Five (5) of the DVDs contained more than one movie; these are 18 (A, B & C), 23 (A & B), 28 (A & B), 33 (A & B) and 35 (A & B). 

CalStar released nineteen (19) Cavern movies in whole or in part.  Several were paired with other SfP movies on English Spanking Classics (ECS) or English Discipline Series (EDS) tapes.  ‘Penalty Strokes 1’ was severely cut to make one segment of an English Punishment Series compendium.  At least 5 Cavern and Moonglow North movies were also released by 6666 Productions, a company that I know very little about. Again, the names were sometimes changed.

Just a personal note - I've seen 36 Cavern movies and 'Cautioned with the Cane' and 'Penalty Strokes 2' are my favorites with an honorable mention to 'Penalty Strokes 1' and 'The Boot and Flogger'.

Moonglow North Compendium N06 also contains footage from ‘Class of ’94’ which was released by SfP in 1994.  That movie features Alison Payne and Ivor Gold.  I believe that it was made by Mel & Alison but I haven’t included it here as a Cavern movie.  I don’t know if Mel had and involvement with the other SfP ‘Class of ‘95, ’96, ’97 or ‘02’ movies.

There are three longer segments and several short clips included on the Moonglow North Compendium movies that may be from Cavern movies that I haven’t been able to identify.  The longer segments are ‘Nursing Her Bottom’ (Moonglow North N04), ‘Spanks for the Spliff’ (N09) and 'Nursing Her Bottom' (N04) which might be 'Naughty Nurse' (CAV32); a couple of the pictures on the Cavern website are similar to pictures in the Moonglow on-line catalogue but not similar enough that I can make a decision.
