Think you've seen Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979) in all of its pus-oozing, worm-ridden, zombie shark fighting glory? Then think again, son.

The fine folks at Blue Underground have digitally remastered and restored this splatter classic to its original gory glory, and in advance of an October 25 Blu-ray release they're sharing the undead love with special midnight screenings October 21 & 22 all across the US and Canada. Seeing a cult classic on the big screen is an unparalleled moviegoing experience, and with the buzz coming from the restoration's premiere at Fantastic Fest, this is guaranteed to be one of the hottest tickets this Halloween season.

"Hey, Mr. Skin! How about some flesh that isn't putrefying?" you ask. Well, Zombie features Italian eyeful Auretta Gay doffing her top to fight underwater zombies and Greek goddess Olga Karlatos baring boobs and butt as we (and a horde of hungry creatures) watch her getting out of the shower. So you'll be spewing in more ways than one...

Check out the trailer for the restored Zombie, pics of the sexy stars, and information on a screening near YOU after the jump!

To wrap up our rubdown of great nude nuns, we turn back to Italy, the home of Catholicism, for a sex comedy of legendary lustiness- 1972's The Eroticist. Originally called The Senator Loves Women!, the film was retitled for its international release to capitalize on the popularity of The Exorcist, released the same year. However, there aren't any exorcisms to be found in this bawdy romp- except for the demon load that legendary sexbomb Laura Antonelli will exorcise from your tool!

The film was directed by Lucio Fulci, who started his career in comedy before directing the horror gore fests like Zombie and The House by the Cemetery that have become his trademark. This movie got Fulci into a lot of hot water when it was released, not least for lead actor Lando Buzzanca's striking resemblance to a leading Italian politician. What's the big deal? Well, Buzzanca plays Senator Pulpis, a politician with an uncontrollable obsession with fondling women's butts. Imagine an actor who just happened to look exactly like Rick Santorum playing a man obsessed with ass. That's not much of a stretch, actually, but you get the point.

In his desperation to kick the hindquarters habit, Senator Pulpis turns to the church, where he finds sweet, sweet solace in the arms of busty Laura Antonelli. Laura is at the height of her erotic powers as Sister Hildegard, the lustiest nun this side of the Holy See. With the assistance of Sister Hildegard, Senator Pulpis begins to shed the inhibitions that caused his fanny fixation- when Laura presents herself to the senator wearing only her veil and kinky nun's rope-underwear, her massive mounds are enough to turn any man into a breast man!

You'll be shouting "hallelujah!" when you check out the plentiful assets of Laura Antonelli right here on MrSkin.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.

They've got beauty . . . and brrraiiiiiiinnnnns.
