The 1968 Night of the Living Dead has one very brief rear shot of a naked zombie (looks like a female). You can see her butt.

Final Destination 1, 2, and possibly 5-haven't finished it yet. Nudity in 3 but no sex, sex and nudity in 4

reply

There's the flashing biker chick in 2, and the brief shot of a naked lady in a magazine in 1. 5's completely clean to the best of my knowledge. Since 1's was just a photo, I hardly count that. 2, had nudity, no sex, and not for an extended period of time, so... *shrug*

Swooping is bad.

I'll name 5 titles:

The Haunting (1963)
Kwaidan (1964)
The Innocents (1961)
A Cold Night's Death (1973)
Black Christmas (1974)

reply

how about horror movies not from over 50ish years ago. cant stand watching low quality films,shows.

a person is smart, people are stupid

reply

You mean modern era horror with no sex and nudity? So, as long as their clothes stay intact it's fine, right?

Let's see:

Ring (1998)
House of The Devil (2009)
Shutter (2004)
4bia (2007)
[Rec] (2007)

reply

The sex in horror movies is supposed to remind the viewers of "the dangers of premarital sex". As you've probably seen in many horror movies containing sex and/or nudity, the ones having sex are the mostly like to be killed. "Hostel", to me, was a great modern example of that. The girls treat them to sex and them to a the lair of a people who pay to torture and "hunt" others.

reply

Well, not everyone having sex in horror ended up dying, though. For example *SPOILER WARNING!*:

1. Jenny Agutter's character in An American Werewolf in London had sex but she didn't die.

2. Jistuko Yoshimura's character in Onibaba had sex many times but she survived.

3. Linnea Quigley's, Michelle Bauer's, and Brinke Stevens' characters in Nightmare Sisters had sex but they survived.

4. Linnea Quigley's character in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers had sex but she lived.

5. Serena Grandi's character in Delirium had a wild sex but she didn't get hacked by the killer.

6. Cristina Marsillach's character in Opera also had premarital sex but she didn't get killed.

*SPOILER ENDS!*

I think the sex & nudity in horror movie isn't meant to remind viewers of anything. They're just there to draw in the boys and they succeeded at that.

reply

If the original poster has an issue with sex in horror films, perhaps they should go out and kill some prostitutes like any normal person would?

reply

You forgot Sidney Prescott, who had sex in the first one and survived a prolonged encounter with TWO killers in Scream.

seriously ?!.. good films are good whenever they are made man ..that's the most shallow , narrow minded oponion i'v came across !!
psycho , de palma's sisters , argento's deep red , carpenter's halloween & the fog .. watch those and then watch their '' NEW '' remakes and tell me wich is better ? ..they all had been remade..and the old ones are much better ..
some old films are bad..some new films are bad ..some old are great..some new are good ..and am 24 so dun think i was born in the 50's ..u js hv to rethink wut is LOW QUALIITY !!

reply

what i mean by low quality is the lighting and visual effects, even star trek original and next gen, are just so foggy visually that i dont have the patience to watch. if they did like disney and digitally remastered everything i might be able to sit through it. look at the star trek movie that came out a few years ago, lighting, colour and visual were outstanding, i almost wanted to watcht he original series after seeing that.

reply

Digital remastering looks fake, no matter what HD settings or filters or so-on are added in, at least to me. It never seems to provide anything important and it creates more issues than it corrects. Personally I like the grainy film look of older horror movies, it adds to the atmosphere. Besides, not only is digital remastering expensive, but fans of older films find digital remastering unnecessary. On occasion it can look alright, but for the most part, all it does is make a good film look fake.

You're talking to someone who's afraid of a little nudity in their horror films. What did you expect?

reply

Would You Rather (2012)

It's very good horror movie and no nudity at all!

reply

that really sucks. what's up with Sasha Grey by the way. it's so weird how she made porn videos but when it comes to legitimate movies she never shows nudity anymore. how disappointing.

reply

obviously you just want to ignore a lot of decent horror movies without sex or nudity:
Insidious -- three years old,
Paranormal Activity -- six years old,
REC -- six years old and Quarantine was basically the same movie, five years old.
The Blair Witch Project on and on, i'm not looking up the release dates of all of these but most are less than ten years old.
Saw
Trick r Treat
The Woman in Black
Apollo 18
The Innkeepers
House of the Devil
Attack the Block
The Thing
Fright Night
Frozen
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead (OG)
Nosferatu
Dracula
Frankenstein
The Mummy
The Wolf Man
Creep Show

Insidious 2, The Others, The Haunting of Hill House (both versions), Shadow of a Vampire, Silence of the Lambs, Sinister, Carrie (both versions), The Birds, Psycho (first version only), Poltergeist, Alien 1 and 2, The Possession of Emily Rose, The Exorcist, etc. a good movie is a good movie, regardless of how old it is. I think most of the bad gory movies cater to a sub-par intelligence and throw in T & A for titillation because they aren't written very well and aren't scary. I also think it's an American thing. Americans are fine with a lot of violence but oh em gee, let someone take their clothes off or swear, and they FTFO.

I think you're basically just watching a lot of crap movies.

reply

but if they throw in T and A for titillation, why would they do that as the American audience freaks the f out over this?

reply

because it's "naughty." if it's naughty, they think it's thrilling. showing a person exploding into five hundred pieces is run-of-the-mill. plus you're talking about a different audience: if they don't show nudity or sex, that particular audience gets too bored.

reply

my problem with horror movies is every time im watching one with my family they change the channel as soon as it pops up effectively ruining the movie. and its not like sex and nudity do anything but break up the running and killing scenes

a person is smart, people are stupid

reply

[deleted]

Pickaxes being shoved through heads, making eyeballs pop out, is more appropriate family viewing than some bare boobs are? You, or someone in your family, will change the channel is they see a boob, but not if someone's chest is ripped open and their heart removed? I have to wonder about family values, if that is the case.

These days there are far too many PG-13 horror movies produced, just to avoid the thing you are complaining about.

I'd also have to quibble with the original question here. It seems the question, and the responses, are geared more toward slasher movies than they are horror movies in general. The term "horror movie" includes a wide range of types of movies, many of which do not contain sex or nudity. It seems to me that gratuitous sex and nudity (which I have no problem with) is more common to slasher movies, especially older ones. With some exceptions, it appears to me that current horror movies are tamer than they were in the past, as far as nudity goes. The violence level has escalated, while nudity has declined.




reply

how old are you? I was just wondering because if you grew up in the '80s like me, you would know that slasher films in the '80s showed a heck of a lot more nudity and had a heck of a lot more sex than the slasher films made nowadays. I mean when prudes nowadays complain about there being too much nudity and sex in slasher films nowadays, you should just laugh and say, "hey man, the '80s were a lot more explicit in regards to the nudity and sex in slasher films than the slasher films of nowadays. yeah, so if anything there should be MORE nudity and sex in today's slasher films to satisfy people like me who really enjoy and get off on these things in our slasher films. hey I just remember how great it used to be... any comments on this?

reply

"I was just wondering because if you grew up in the '80s like me, you would know that slasher films in the '80s showed a heck of a lot more nudity and had a heck of a lot more sex than the slasher films made nowadays."

Sigh.

80s classic slasher movies with no nudity: Hell Night, Happy Birthday to Me, The Dorm That Dripped Blood, MY BLOODY VALENTINE.

Even many of the Friday the 13th movies only showed fleeting glimpses here and there: There's one quick shot of one boob in the original movie. Only A New Beginning showed anything remotely gratuitous.

The 2009 reboot however, featured a lot more nudity.

Cheap, skeezy films showed a lot, but nobody remembers them, just as cheap, skeezy recent slasher films show more now. Higher-end bigger budget horror doesn't tend to have to pander to its supposed audience in the same way. What does sex have to do with horror anyway!?

reply

you gave 4 examples of '80s slasher movies without nudity. come on. if you really remember '80s slasher films then you would remember how just about every single one of them had nudity and sex. that's the exact reason why they got a reputation for always having sex and nudity and that's the exact way that they created the have sex before marriage and die rule. I mean this is pretty obvious. it's like arguing that James Bond movies don't have action. only two Friday the 13th films don't have nudity, part 6 and part 3. the rest all have nudity. I mean, they got the reputation for having female nudity and hardcore, ahead of it's time violence. you can't argue with that. you've probably just gotten jaded and desensitized with nudity because you've watched so much porn.

reply

But James Bond movies are part of the action genre. There's no genre called nudity-and-gore. As long as a slasher movie contains an amount of slashing, it's lived up to its intent.

And I gave 4 examples of 'classic' slasher movies with no nudity. Off the top of my head there's also these:

The Ghost Dance
Funeral Home
The House Where Death Lives
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
Scream/The Outing
The Final Terror
A Nightmare on Elm Street / Elm Street 2
April Fool’s Day
Halloween 4 (and possibly 5)
Intruder
American Gothic
Cutting Class
Mirage

Even if you take the Fridays as an example, what do you see? In the first one, Marcie on the bunk for a split second; in Part 2 a long shot of a girl skinny dipping; Friday 3 does actually have a side-shot of Debbie in the shower...; nothing in 6; 7 and 8 had blink-and-you'll-miss it shots, they were hardly front and center of the films.

I've seen just about everything across the genre, well over 650 slasher films, and while a good portion of the 80s ones show a lot of skin, it's nowhere near as much as people claim it was.

reply

my point wasn't that saying slasher films SHOULD have nudity and sex in relation to james bond movies should have action. my point was that slasher films DO have nudity and sex most of the time. by the way A nightmare on elm street and elm street 2 both have a slight bit of boobs. and Halloween 5 has boobs.

you're missing the point about '80s slasher movies. it's not about how much nudity was in those movies. it's about almost all of them having nudity and sex. I mean, what I'm saying is pretty obvious and it would be going against conventional and wise wisdom to say this is not true. '80s slasher films got the well earned reputation for having young, hot girls showing nudity in them. it was one of the hallmarks of '80s slasher movies and it was an often used formula then.

reply

But your original point WAS saying it was about how much there was:

"slasher films in the '80s showed a heck of a lot more nudity and had a heck of a lot more sex than the slasher films made nowadays."

I'm confused. Lay it to rest. Naked girls then, naked girls now.

reply

I only stated a different point because you were trying to say something else than what my original point was which was that slasher films in the '80s didn't show nudity as often among movies as slasher films nowadays which is not true. slasher films in the '80s almost always showed nudity and sex. it was the epitome of this sex before marriage and then die formula time. I really can't understand why people think that nowadays slasher movies have more frequent nudity from movie to movie than '80s slasher films. If you grew up in the '80s you would know that there is a dramatic difference between the movie to movie and sex and nudity in '80s slasher movie ratio than there is nowadays. nowadays unfortunately teenagers are often relegated to sanitized, tame PG-13 horror movies with not sex or nudity. and the '70s were even more explicit in terms of sex and nudity than the '80s were in movies. which was I'm sure because it was the first decade where big, Hollywood movies could have sex and nudity totally freely shown.

reply

Perhaps you can provide some examples to support your point?

I still think recent horror has thrown a lot of skin on screen. Look at the Piranha films, wall to wall naked chicks and girl-on-girl action; Rob Zombie's Halloween films had a fair whack, as did the Friday reboot, and just about every other straight-to-DVD $10,000 slasher film is soaking in 'nostalgic' T&A.

reply

I don't have to, it's obvious, apparently you haven't seen enough '80s slasher films to know this. but only because I love slasher films, i'll give you some: Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th part 2, part 4, part 5, part 7, 8, Halloween 3, Halloween 5, A Nightmare on Elm Street, ANOES 2, 3, 4, 5, Hellraiser, The Funhouse, Monkey Shines: an experiment in fear, The Lair of the white worm, Nightmare, The Hills have eyes 2, Deadly Blessing, Bloody Birthday, Hospital Massacre, Horror High, Possession, Housegeist, etc.

but it's just nostalgic t and a now in slasher movies now, so it's not as special as the t and a in '80s slasher films. are you saying you think that there is more nudity in recent horror movies from movie to movie than there was in the '80s or do you think there is more nudity content, or screen time nowadays than there was in the '80s in horror movies?

also, something that should be noted is although slasher movies nowadays have nudity the nudity in nowadays horror movies is not as sexy as it was in the '80s. the reason is there always was a sense and quality of forbiddenness and naughtiness and secretly looking at someone when you're not allowed or supposed to in '80s nude scenes. unfortunately they don't have those thing anymore in nude scenes nowadays.

reply

So you think the split second shot of Marcie on the bunk in a dimly lit scene in Friday the 13th is 'more' than three different girls in the 2009 film?

Sounds like you just prefer the way it was done back then for nostalgic purposes. And since when is Halloween III a slasher film?

"apparently you haven't seen enough '80s slasher films to know this" - read my previous reply. 650+. SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY. More than you could even name, I imagine.

reply

why are you getting mean. there's no reason for that. I actually just thought that we could end up friends because we both like slasher films. and, saying that that one scene in Friday the 13th is representative of '80s slasher films is incorrect. so you can't say that it is how '80s slasher films nudity scenes were. so don't do that. '80s slasher films showed more nudity from movie to movie than nowadays slasher films. just look at all the watered down, sanitized, PG-13, kid and teenager friendly slasher movies that are being made nowadays. it's pretty obvious how '80s slasher films are dramatically different in terms of nudity content than nowadays slasher movies. we as a nation have strangely gotten more conservative when it comes to sex and nudity in movies but we've gotten less conservative when it comes to violence in movies. just watch this movie is not rated to find this out.

and nowadays slasher movies don't have as long of nudity scenes or as explicit nudity scenes, in terms of showing bush or pussy, or as many women showing nudity in movies, and they don't have women showing nudity in different scenes in them like '80s slasher films do. in the '80s nudity and sex was so much more free and natural looking and feeling than in nowadays movies. nitpicky about Halloween 3 not being a slasher film, you just want to argue. again, why are you being mean? there's no reason to be mean to me.

and seeing as you've been on here since 2000, I imagine that you too long for the glory days of the best decade for slasher films, the '80s. they were they best slasher films then, a lot better than the boring ones made nowadays. and also, don't you like and appreciate the ways '80s slasher films made their nudity and sex scenes, and don't you like '80s slasher film nudity and sex scenes more than nudity and sex scenes in nowadays slasher movies?

reply

We're never going to agree on this - you see it from one end, I from the other. Plus I live in Europe where people are naked all the time anyway.

Let's just lay it to rest.

Pretty much all film and TV was better in the 80s.

reply

exactly I totally agree with you but try telling that to Angulus-16. for some reason they don't agree with this. I mean, it's totally obvious that '80s slasher movies have more nudity than nowadays slasher movies. and what's weird is nowadays they have a problem with nudity in slasher films but they always have to up the ante in the violence department. they have to make it as graphic and vulgar and brutal as they can in order to satisfy the gore hounds. it's really weird because how can nudity be more offensive than violence?

A bit late to the discussion but this post made me do a double take....
You are all ok with on screen gore, dismemberment, murder, etc. but the problem is nudity?
That is just mind boggling....

reply

I don't see the issue with sex & nudity in a slasher? They kind of go together.

reply

I kinda wish they would quit TRYING to put sex and nudity in horror movies, not because I don't like it, but because they're so BAD at it compared to the halcyon days when I was a young kid watching HBO late at night.

First off, they're famous today in horror films for filming completely gratuitous shower scenes, sex scenes, etc. but WITHOUT the nudity. Why for god's sake? It makes me appreciate "House of the Devil" where the female characters don't even COME CLOSE to getting naked (so you never get distracted thinking they will) or "Session 9" which has no female characters at all.

Not much better are movies like this where the nudity is handled by a stripper type with big fake silicone breasts who couldn't act her way out of a paper sack and is completely shoe-horned into the plot for no other reason than to provide T and A. I want to see nudity from an actress who can kind of ACT and looks like a regular girl, not a porn star type. Horror movies have always had a madonna-whore thing going, but the "whores" at least used to have real breasts and a modicum of acting talent, and they were actually given CHARACTERS that weren't completely superfluous and gratuitous.

reply

you're right. with slasher movies nowadays it's always like, here we go again, another formulaic, typical, hot girl is going to strip down to her bra and panties and you are going to think she probably and hopefully is going to show her boobs or more and then she is going to die. it is a tired formula. but slasher films have always been doing this since the '80s. what is the halcyon days? by the way Betsy Rue doesn't have big fake silicone breasts.
