Girls in
Hostel: Part II (2007)

As Saw VI hits theaters this weekend, let’s look back at the fright franchise's most screamingly sexy ladies.

In 2004, the original Saw heralded a new approach to terror that ushered in its own extreme movie genre, dubbed by those who disapprove to be “torture porn.”

Just as Saw indirectly begat Wolf Creek (2005), The Devil’s Rejects (2005), and Eli Roth’s Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007), it also spawned sequels that have become an annual cinematic happening every Halloween weekend.

The follow-up roster thus far is Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008) and, now, Saw VI (2009).

For all its spectacular violence, the Saw cycle has been surprisingly skingy, but it does not skimp on stocking the screen with sexbombs who have appeared nude elsewhere.

One caveat: ferociously sexy villainess Shawnee Smith, who’s appeared in every Saw movie so far, has still not done a nude scene. Why does she torture us so?

Until Shawnee strips, then, allow Mr. Skin to point you in the direction of the Saw sirens’ naked appearances.

1. JULIE BENZ
See Her in Saw(s): V

The Buzz: Fresh-faced, hard-bodied blonde Julie Benz is most familiar as Rita, the clueless mom married to a serial killer on Dexter. Julie’s breakout role came in Jawbreaker (1999), and she’s worked steadily (and aged beautifully) since then, notably returning to the big screen in Rambo (2008). In Saw V, Julie is forced to save herself by fatally neck stabbing a fellow victim of evil mastermind Jigsaw (Tobin Bell). Those things happen.

Jig Off: Darkdrive (1996)
(1:08) Julie brings rapid acceleration to this sci-fi tale of an auto-intensive future, flashing her headlights and even some back bumper as she rides a guy to glory in the sack.

Among its many repulsive and/or revolutionary revelations, the classic splatter blow-out Pieces (1982) proved (as its ads touted) that “you don’t have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre.”

Now the heroic exploitation-movie archeologists at Grindhouse Releasing bring that very same chainsaw massacre right to you via a new, gloriously realized two-disc special edition Pieces DVD.

Meanwhile, at a midnight showing quite possibly near you (with more on the way), Repo! The Genetic Opera (2007) is packing screwed-up teenage asses into theater seats like no cult sensation in recent memory (or mammaries).

Repo’s got blood, it’s got guts, it's got body-fluid thrill freaks looking for a kick, and it’s got a Gothily tarted-up Paris Hilton.

McBeardo reports on the considerable sex appeal of all of the above after the jump. Just click on Paris Hilton's nipple.

Number 11: Ingrid Pitt

Plasma-bathing medieval Countess Elizabeth Bathory has been immortalized in numerous flesh-and-blood-soaked films, including Immoral Tales, Female Vampire, Eternal, and Hostel: Part II.

Alas, few have embodied the erotically unhinged role more arousingly than British beauty Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula.

In fact, Ingrid is so associated with the Bloody Countess that she portrayed her again on spoken word portions of the 2001 Bathory-themed concept album Cruelty and the Beast by UK black-metal monsters Cradle of Filth.

On top(less) of Countess Dracula, Ingrid’s two other nude scenes occurred in the fright classics The Vampire Lovers and The Wicker Man, making her a scream queen guaranteed to make more than just your blood run hot.

Stunningly beautiful Lauren German first caught Mr. Skin’s eye way back in 1999 when she appeared in the sex- and relationship-themed MTV soap Undressed. Since then Lauren hasn’t actually gotten undressed, but she has participated in a lesbian make-out with Amy Adams in Standing Still (2005), been a beautiful paraplegic in Crispin Glover’s It Is Fine. Everything Is Fine! (2007), and sketched a topless Vera Jordanova before decapitating her in Hostel: Part II (2007). Now Lauren is appearing in the romantic comedy Love and Mary, which was released on DVD this week. She spoke to our own Maximilian Mueller about horror movies, lesbianism, and nudity in her future.

Hostel 2 Star Exercises Her Right to Rug-Munch Till Death Do Us Part

Heather Matarazzo, best known as Dawn Weiner from the cult favorite Welcome to the Dollhouse, doesn’t seem to have much interest in wiener at all in real life.

Heather, who had been a frequent diner at the Y long before she appeared on The L Word in 2007, announced today that she would be marrying her girlfriend of one year, Carolyn Murphy.

Read more about the former Miss Weiner and current vag-itarian and check out a naked picture of what Mr. Skin thinks the honeymoon might look like after the cut.

What Do Amy Winehouse and Notorious Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory Have in Common? It Might Be More Than Poofy Black Hair and a Ghostly Pallor ….

Amy Winehouse had blood delivered yesterday. Human blood. To her home.

Ordinarily, one must travel to a properly recognized medical facility to have other people’s plasma brought forth, presumably, for bodily consumption.

And it could be that skin-popping chart-topper Amy Winehouse just needed a fresh injection of the red stuff to keep her pumping (as was rumored to be Keith Richards’ semi-regular intravenous elixir of choice).

But considering how crowded Amy’s veins may very well be at any given moment, could it be that she’d partake of sanguine treats in some other manner, perhaps even something … sexy?

Bathe in Amy Winehouse’s bloody possibilities after the … cut!

As we approach the last years of the first decade of the 21st century, let 2007 be declared a pivotal moment in the onward progression of skinematic history. For after a long, dismal dry spell during which more and more actresses seemed hellbent on revealing less and less of their bodies on the big screen, these past twelve months proved to be packed with scintillating surprises.
