Girls in
Friday the 13th (1980)

Retro Skin is a regular look back at outrageous, obscure, and even unknown films from the wild world of skinema history that broke naked ground in their day and now live forever at MrSkin.com.

THE NEW YORK RIPPER (1982)
DIRECTOR: Lucio Fulci
NUDES: Alexandra Delli Colli, Daniela Doria, Zora Kerova, Cinzia de Ponti
DVD/BLU-RAY: Blue-Underground.com

In the annals of “spaghetti splatter” gore films from Italy in the 1970s and ’80s, the name Lucio Fulci ranks high among the most revered.

From his breakthrough shocker A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971) through his signature classic Zombie (1979) to his meta-horror freak-out Cat in the Brain (1990), Fulci established an over-the-top style in which flesh and blood exploded with orgiastic abandon.

Mr. Skin’s DVD Pick of the Week
The Last House on the Left (2009)—Blu-Ray
STUDIO: Universal
NUDE: Riki Lindhome (breasts), Sara Paxton (butt)
The Last House on the Left (2009) is a remake of Wes Craven's notorious 1972 exploitation film of the same name, itself a purported remake of Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring (1960). When her parents (Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potts) take her to their lake house on vacation, young Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) quickly ditches them to hang out with her free-spirited friend Paige (Martha MacIsaac). Soon the two girls find themselves smoking pot in a hotel room with seemingly harmless and shy Justin (Spencer Treat Clark) when his escaped-convict father Krug (Garret Dillahunt) comes back unexpectedly, accompanied by Justin's uncle Francis (Aaron Paul) and Krug’s girlfriend Sadie (Riki Lindhome).

A Tender Moment

“A new star graces that firmament we can’t quite reach,” porn star Georgina Spelvin wrote in response to the news of her friend, 56-year-old porn legend Marilyn Chambers, nude in dozens of movies, who died Easter Sunday.

It takes a special kind of lady to make a box of soap dirty. And that lady was the one and only Golden Age porn star Marilyn Chambers, formerly the face of Ivory Soap and later the star of the X-rated classic Behind the Green Door and David Cronenberg’s fright flick Rabid.

When the wholesome, spokesmodel-esque Marilyn walked into the audition for the 1972 flesh-flick Behind the Green Door, she had already acted in the Barbara Streisand comedy The Owl and the Pussycat and the skin-filled 1971 hippie movie Together, directed by Friday the 13th’s Sean S. Cunningham.

Originally, she was to have a non-sex role in Green Door, but the Mitchell Brothers, who directed the movie and were later the subject of the biopic Rated X, talked her into doing her first hardcore scenes, leading to a career of sizzling, taboo-busting, on-screen sex acts.

And she never looked back (unless it was to reach for more lube).

On with the Body Count!

If you look at your calendar for March, you’ll notice that there’s another Friday the 13th coming up in a couple of weeks. And that’s lucky, because it keeps everybody’s mind on the nude knockouts of the Friday the 13th movie franchise, especially recent additions to the fold Americo Olivo, Willa Ford, and Julianna Guill.

This month’s issue of Maxim features Willa and Julianna posing on a couch together in some skimpy lingerie, seemingly without fear of eminent attack by a hockey-masked serial killer or much in the way of clothing.

To Avoid Fainting, Keep Repeating “It’s only a Remake…”

Welcome back, my friends, to Castle Rackula. Prepare for an unusually long and discursive post this week.

I’ve been in the castle’s library for the past few nights boning up on the latest actresses, and I got a chance to do a little reading while I was at it. Therefore I decided to take a more scholarly approach to this week’s subject, the upcoming Last Louse on the Left remake.

But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten to include plenty of nudition to accompany all the erudition.

Read more after the bite.

The first and only Friday the 13th of 2008 is now upon us and millions of people around the world are cowering under their beds terrified of being run over by buses, struck by lightning, or shot out of the sky during a transatlantic flight. In order to ease these superstitious fears and still remain in the spirit of the day, I've decided to list the best nude scenes from the first four installments of that greatest of all horror franchises, the Friday the 13th movies.

Friday the 13th (1980)

Before Jason Voorhees rose from his watery grave to wreak havoc in Camp Crystal Lake his mother (Betsy Palmer) was on chopping duty, taking revenge for her young son's accidentally drowning by gruesomely murdering a group of counselors trying to re-open the camp. About 36 minutes in to the movie one such counselor, Marcie Cunningham (Jeannine Taylor) displays her bun-and-mams before a porking by a pre-Footloose Kevin Bacon. Politely waiting for the nudity to play itself out, Mrs. Voorhees dispatches of them both soon after.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Featuring the first appearance of Jason as the killer (but still without the hockey mask) and the best nudity of the entire franchise, Part Two is a worthy sequel indeed. At the 45-minute mark, the unspeakably hot Norwegian beauty Kirsten Baker strips for a skinny-dip and gives us a good long look at her fronties, fanny, and furburger.

Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982)

Part Three is notable both for its use of 3D in the theatrical version and because it introduces the iconic hockey mask that gave Jason his recognizable look. Intercut with the extremely memorable scene of a guy walking on his hands followed by a through-the-floor shot of Jason bringing down his machete into the poor bastard's upturned package is the extremely MAM-orable scene of future Channel 4 News Co-anchor Tracie Savage taking a shower and showing off her perky rackage.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

The fourth installment (and far from "the final chapter") features the talents of The Honker from Yonkers, The Last American Virgin star Lawrence Monoson, and all-around freak show/genius Crispin Glover. It also includes an epic skinny-dipping scene about 27 minutes in with twins Camilla and Carey More and Judie Aronson.
