Nudity in horror Yes In am having a round table on my blog talk radio show on Friday at 3:00PM CST you can hear it from the link below live or download.
A few points I believe in this country you have the right to make any film you wish. Films where you go nuts say kill someone for real or do child porn will and should put you in jail. Other them that up to you and good luck. IMHO far too many directors of horror films use tits when they run out of ideas. Like my guy P.J. said
THe actress is in the home knowing that Mr. Evil is near by....so she takes a shower or perhaps gets a friend to take a shower with her... makes a lot of sense right ah no other then seeing a rack does nothing for the film. Worse yet hot girl is caught by Mr bad who strips her then kills her slowly perhaps mutilating her body other then for the gratification of 17 year old boys and selling tickets is that needed? I think not.
I can make the case that Last House on the Left uses sex/violence to make a point like Death Wish did. Hills of Eyes II just IMHO a bunch of shit. See it if you want myself not interested.
If you want Porn try You Porn.
Some say you need lots of tits to make a good horror film. Sorry see the old Vincent Price films and the old Hammer films. Some great stuff there. Try The Conquer Worm suggested sex lots of killing (During the English Civil war) scare the hell out of you. Try Fire Walk with me the nude stuff etc needed for the story. Scare you too.

The reason for this is very simple. I have come to see more and more how marketing affect's the status quo when it comes to film, entertainment, or generally how they live their lives. People have come to a point where they expect nudity in rated R horror and this must be given to them to ensure profitability. This is why most mainstream American films suck. People want to be catered to and by being told what is cool and what they should like, then being given just that. It works. For instance, there was not a single frame in Transformers 2 that was not marketed very carefully to reach certain niches, then with every opening they did a follow-up in-movie ad once they changed their overall affect. This has become a common trend in especially summer blockbusters, but as well as mainstream horror films. Then in turn independent filmmakers try to replicate what they like in making their movies. Some cases it works, others it turns disastrous.
