November 3, 1978
I Spit on Your Grave opens in theaters.

“Rape and revenge” stands as one of the most remarkable exploitation genres that, truly, only could have existed in the wild-and-wooly-bushed 1970s. And the Gone with the Wind of rape-and-revenge films is writer-director Meir Zarchi’s I Spit on Your Grave.

Willowy redhead Camille Keaton (granddaughter of silent-comedy great Buster Keaton) stars as a novelist whose solitary weekend retreat in the woods in interrupted by gang-rape. More than once. She then exacts payback via hanging, axe murder, and death by blood loss from a knife wound where a penis once was.

Spit played grindhouses and drive-ins deep into the 1980s and became an immediate blockbuster in the early days of home video.

Retro Skin is a regular look back at outrageous, obscure, and even unknown films from the wild world of skinema history that broke naked ground in their day and now live forever at MrSkin.com.

THE NEW YORK RIPPER (1982)
DIRECTOR: Lucio Fulci
NUDES: Alexandra Delli Colli, Daniela Doria, Zora Kerova, Cinzia de Ponti
DVD/BLU-RAY: Blue-Underground.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.

From Death and the Maiden to Skingoria.

Best known for his over-the-top interpretations of the work of H.P. Lovecraft, director Stuart Gordon is a legend in the horror world.

Over the past 25 years, Gordon has directed gorefests like From Beyond, Castle Freak, and Dagon, written the scripts for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and The Dentist, and done episodes of the cable anthology series Masters of Horror.

He has also worked with mainstream actors William H. Macy, Bai Ling, Denise Richards, Mena Suvari, and Julia Stiles in the non-horror movies Edmond and Stuck.

Earlier this month, he graciously sat down and talked to MrSkin.com’s own McBeardo and Count Rackula about nudity, the state of the horror film, and Re-Animator’s most famous scene.

October 25, 2002
Cheerleader-movie icon Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith dies.

After a string of remarkable exploitation films such as The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974), The Pom Pom Girls (1976), Massacre at Central High (1976), and The Incredible Melting Man (1977), Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith ruled as the most singularly beguiling starlet of the drive-in era.

Then, when Cheryl vanished in 1982, she became one of cinema’s most enigmatic figures, prompting fans to wonder for decades what became of their beloved Rainbeaux.

Tragically, news of Ms. Smith succumbing to liver disease hit just as Synapse Films began work on a special-edition DVD of one of her most sought-after titles, Lemora (1973).

Thanks to her legion of devotees, though, the legacy of Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith lives on. Rah-rah-raw, forevermore.

Aubrey O'Day Joins Holly Madison on the Boobtastic Vegas Stage

Former Spice Girl Mel B. will no longer be appearing in the Las Vegas revue "Peepshow," which she started with former Dancing with the Stars champion Kelly Monaco back in April of this year.

Fortunately, Mel and Kelly have been replaced by former Playmate and Girls Next Door star Holly Madison and former Danity Kane singer and proud bisexual Aubrey O’Day, both of whom bare their boobs for the show.

“Aubrey is one of the sexiest entertainers in the industry today,” said co-CEO of Base Entertainment Scott Zeiger. "And we are thrilled to welcome her to the ‘Peepshow’ cast.”

And "Peepshow" audiences are equally thrilled to ogle Aubrey and Holly’s sizeable melons without having to insert a token every four minutes.

Your eyes will be smiling for Irish eyeful Annabeth Gish, redhead Hannah Barth, and stunning Caprice Benedetti. These delectable dishes serve up enough T&A to give you a Blarney Bone!

Getting Bai with a Little Help from Mr. Skin

She’s gorgeous. She’s dangerous. She’s an international sensation who’s not afraid of her own sex appeal – or anything else.

She’s Bai Ling, the multitalented beauty born in China who’s now a Hollywood sensation co-starring in the action smash Crank 2: High Voltage.

After a stint in the Chinese army, teenage Bai became a star in Asia before landing her breakthrough role as a sadistic, incestuous villain in The Crow.

Since then, Bai has emerged as one of cinema’s most joyfully provocative figures, both in on-screen and off.

Openly bisexual and happy to discuss her most erotically alluring features – no other mainstream actress we’ve yet come across so proudly talks up her own nipples – Bai Ling sat with MrSkin.com to talk about Crank 2, and all sorts of other delights that just happened to pop up.

Crank 2: High Voltage is available on DVD and Blu-ray now.
