Nude Scenes from
Black Emanuelle (1975)

Throughout the Month of October, Count Down the Sexiest Nude Horror Movie Hotties of All Time!

Number 16: Laura Gemser

Although she is worshipped around the world (and, oh, so rightly so!) as the sensually intrepid skinvestigative journalist heroine at the heart (and hard parts) of the classic Black Emanuelle sexploitation film series, luscious Laura Gemser is also very much a scream queen.

First, consider the Black Emanuelle entries that topple over from mere erotic into hardcore horror: Emanuelle in America and Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals.

Beside those, Laura Gemser’s arousing efforts frequently combine ultra-explicit sex with whacked-out violence, oftentimes at the hand of perverse filmmaker extraordinaire, Joe D’Amato.

And then there is Laura Gemser’s flat-out fright fare on the order of Black Cobra, Erotic Nights of the Living Dead, Murder Obsession, and Horror Safari.

Truly, this is a woman worthy of celebrating in the buff no matter what the occasion. But Halloween makes naked Laura Gemser go down even sweeter.

Although much continues to be (rightly) made of Deep Throat and the 1970s hardcore era of “Porn Chic,” one can not overstate the simultaneous cultural impact made by the softer side of the X-rating.

With that in mind, Mr. Skin wishes the happiest of birthdays (and birthday suits) to French filmmaker Just Jaeckin, who revolutionized erotic cinema with the worldwide phenomenon Emmanuelle, and who went on to helm other steamy classics on the order of The Story of O, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and Gwendoline.

Just Jaeckin was born on this date in 1940.

"Any excuse is a good excuse to get naked."

These are words by which Mr. Skin lives and breathes, and, more skinportantly, they are the exact words that once dripped from the quivering lips of Indonesian-born eyeful Laura Gemser (Picture: 1), the undisputed goddess of '70s skinternational softcore cinema.

The filmography of world-renowned erotic auteur Just Jaeckin is studded with the most storied gems in the annals of skinternational cinema. Among the French filmmaker's enduring creations are The Story of O (1975) (Picture: 1), Lady Chatterley's Lover (1981) (Picture: 1), Gwendoline (1984) (Picture: 1), and, towering above them all, Emmanuelle (1974) (Picture: 1).
