Horror Nudity
OK... I'm sure many of you could see this coming... One of the staples of many great Horror Films has been 'gratuitous female nudity'... So what was the best? There have always been certain 'scream queens' who, it would seem, love to get naked at every opportunity! You can check out every inch of Misty Mundae in several movies like "Screaming Dead". Or Nastassja Kinski in "To The Devil, A Daughter" and others. I would be 'hard' pressed (Iknow...groan) to call "Hard To Die" a 'horror' movie... it is more of a 'gratuitous-female-nudity' movie! You get the idea... I think, for me, the winner would be... "ZOMBIE" ! (this movie just keeps 'popping up' in here... I know... groan again...) I know this is mostly one for the guys, but let me know what you think...

Re: Horror Nudity
I was going to say, give us girls a chance to list some of our favorite male nudie scenes in movies, but I don't think THERE ARE ANY!! That just sucks...hee hee. It seems like the only time we get to see men naked in horror movies is when something is about to get chopped off. OR if it's a bloody, dirty, torn up zombie walking around. I don't even think Matthew McConaughey took his shirt off in Frailty and he ALWAYS has his shirt off. Just not fair. lol. Well, I do have to say that the woman on the boat in Zombie had a pretty flawless body (bitch - hee hee) but she didn't have very big boobs, so that evened it out. I can't think of any others, maybe because I was ROLLING my eyes every time a woman is running naked through these movies. ha ha. oh well...I say EQUAL RIGHTS FOR MEN!!!

Gee, Doc. I'm getting the slightest feeling that you like naked ladies...A LOT.

Re: Horror Nudity
In "Zombie", besides 'Ms Perfect Body' on the boat, there is also the Doctor's wife in one of the better shower scenes i have seen... shortly before her untimely demise... Yes, June, you are entirely correct about the inequality of female vs. male nude scenes in MOST movies! Not just Horror! I think there is a very good reason for this! Charlton Heston is NEARLY naked throughout MOST of "Planet Of The Apes" but, other than that, I cannot think of too many examples! I CAN, however, think of some more memorable female nude scenes in Horror films! (imagine that!)... I wanted to mention when 'Annie' flashes her boobs at 'Michael' in "Halloween" as well as the extensive 'shower/lockeroom' opening scene in "Carrie"... THIS one probably HAS to be the BEST! Although it is not really 'gratuitous'... as this scene is quite important to the overall story! And it is depicted pretty much as described in the novel... But STILL... Nancy Allen is pretty 'yummy'! And a lockeroom full of naked 'teenage' girls 'frolicking' about is, well 'memorable' to say the least... I wonder how many takes Brian DePalma had to do to get this one?

Re: Horror Nudity
I recently rewatched "Cat People" after several years and I had forgotten what a good movie this is! This is the 1982 'remake' version (actually a 'reinvention') of the classic Val Lewton movie from 1942. This is actually a GREAT Horror Movie and probably much underrated! Starring Nastasja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell as brother and sister 'cat people' and directed by Paul Schrader from a script by Alan Ormsby (of "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead things" fame!), this film pretty much rocks! The story is very simple and straight-forward and the acting is very good and there are at least a couple fairly gory scenes with the best one being Ed Begley Jr. getting his arm ripped off at the shoulder and then bleeding to death... Oh yeah... There is some nudity in this movie as well! There are a few shots of Annette O'Toole's magnificent breasts as well as (of course) the beautiful Nastasja showing off every inch of her lovely body on SEVERAL occasions... Needless to say, for those who haven't seen it, this one comes HIGHLY recomended by 'The Doctor'... I can write you a prescription if you wish...

I beg to differ! Cillian Murphy at the beginning of "28 Days Later." Not great, but still there.

Re: Horror Nudity
The new Behind the Mask throws in a gratuitous nude shot and then somebody in the movie says "How gratuitous!"

Re: Horror Nudity
Yeah, you're right. You hardly ever see frontal male nudity in horror movies, or most other movies, for that matter. And when it's there, it's usually not very good. Prone forms lying asleep in hospitals or dead on a table, that sort of thing. I think as a culture we've become kind of desensitized to female nudity in films. There's been so much of it that when it pops up in a movie now, it's not nearly as shocking as it used to be. I say it's time someone pushed the envelope a little and tried something new.
