Boarding House (1982)

If You Can’t Masturbate, Decapitate!

Ah my friends, welcome back to Castle Rackula. I wasn’t expecting you this early!

You’ve caught me watching one of my old favorites, Dracula Exotica with Vanessa del Rio and my dear friend Randy West. But that actually brings me to the point of this week’s visit.

When I was a young boy in pre-Christian Mamsylvania, my friends and I used to steal the erotic etchings of Messalina getting gang-banged by the senate that the Roman soldiers carried and hide them under our straw mattresses to look at by candlelight when everyone else was asleep.

Incidentally, the real Messalina was never as hot as Anneka Di Lorenzo (AKA Marjorie Lee Thoreson) was in Caligula. But then, the real Messalina would never have sued Bob Guccione for sexual harassment.

Pornography has come a long way since the days of the Roman Empire. And today’s porn stars, while they may not have the political pull that Messalina did, do have more star power.

And sometimes they use that star power to make the jump from creamed teens to scream queens. Here are few of my favorites.

Read more after the bite.

I'm pleased as punch to announce that one of the great all-time cheapo horror video bootlegs is finally available on DVD. Boarding House (1983) has charmed and fascinated hundreds (or at least dozens) of fans with its incredibly low-budget techniques (for one thing, it was shot on video and transferred to film), a Willam Castle-style gimmick dubbed "Horror Vision" that warns viewers before a gruesome murder is about to occur, and tons of female nudity. Director and star John Wintergate also appeared in Terror on Tour (1980). This one has to be seen to be believed!
