Sandy Johnson Nude

Popular culture of 1979 was post-hippie, but not quite yuppie; post-disco, but not quite New Wave; and post-Star-Wars, but not quite completely infantilized by Steven Spielberg.

At local theaters (which were not quite all multiplexes—yet), Hollywood continued to present movies for adults: mature stories for grown-up people featuring adult themes, adult story lines, and that most quintessentially adult artistic flourish—nudity.

With home video still a few years in the future, grindhouses and drive-ins surged toward a crescendo, showcasing an explosion of exploitation that was also patently adult but not, to be sure, mature.

Let’s look now at some of our favorite nude scenes from 1979—eleven, in total, in honor of the rating Dudley Moore actually awards to Bo Derek in the movie 10.

. . . Cummin’ to town.

Tricks and Teats

Greetings and salutations from the darkest recesses of Castle Rackula, high in the hills of Mamsylvania.

Halloween night is very special around here. All my monster friends and a handful of Hollywood phonies come by and we engage in all the standard festivities: boobing for chest-apples, carving up rump-kins, playing pin-the-tail-on-the-prostitute-from-Craigslist, and having a séance to commune with the spirits of dead prostitutes.

I was also happy this year to get my good friend Mark Johnston from Shocking Videos' Halloween newsletter. All that nostalgia made me feel like I was 412 again.

In honor of the Great Pumpkin, I put on my copy of Night on Disco Mountain and compiled this list, a veritable Bocaccio’s Decameron of ten of my favorite naked horror movies that take place on Halloween night.

To be fair, only eight of them have nudity, but I included two additional movies for my own reasons.

So pull up coffin, sit down, and skin-joy!
