The magnanimous act of nudity is the true gift that keeps on giving; and we can’t stop looking! There are a whole bunch of boobs available in cinema, and a proportionately large audience craving thy bosom’s comfort. It sure is funny. And yes, we do realize the furtive yearn for extra skin in movies is taboo to even discuss, but we also realize that FilmBuff is mature enough to verse over boop-boops, hoo-has and even wee-wees. Accordingly, we gathered together some of the most unnecessary shots of skin in the world of horror. We’re not sure if full frontal provides authenticity to ghostly pretadors, but you know, ghosts probably can’t wear clothes anyway, it’s science and who are we to judge. So take a look, this possible NSFW post is pretty rare in our office, and surely that just makes you wanna stare even more. Go Boobs!

Carrie

Stephen King’s classic scary lady story employs some seriously real nudity. At one point in the film, director Brian De Palma reveals a steamy locker room scene saturated with wet, young and happily naked co-eds. Now, we get why the scene is there. We are aware that women always shower in the buff together. It is common knowledge that their selfless tendencies manifest as neighborly body washers. It makes sense, if a lady missed a spot, it is your friendly obligation to ensure cleanliness is achieved. If not for this ridiculously gratutious scene, see the movie for the awesome performance by Sissy Spacek and the excellent writing Mr. King provides.

The Return of the Living Dead

Well ‘Buffs, brains aren’t the only thing on the menu for this classically B movie. Tonight’s course also includes an unsolicited nude dance, in a graveyard, for a solid few minutes. Linnea Quigley, during her narrative, incarnates a Punk-Rock striptease, instilling hopes and dreams in the niche demo of nerdy Ramones fans. The movie itself is successful as an almost silly take on the zombie genre and harbors its share of cult status followers, but any movie that brings happy-pants to Iggy Pop’s apostles, is worth a watch for some truly strange reason.

Species

Natasha Hendstridge’s rise to fame was quick and relatively short-lived, similar to her alien doppelganger. Species employed a typically rounded cast and foreign threats from the extra-terrestrial queen, but its fame and relative success was much to do with Natasha’s uncanny ability to look fantastic in her birthday suit. There really isn’t much to the narrative beyond Sil’s inherent love of nude seduction. Did we mention she looks good naked? This is a movie to see, if not for the excellent, even classy nudity, then for the actually impressive CGI effects from 1995. Hey, if hot aliens invaded the planet, would it be that bad? Biting your head off after sex would be a buzzkill, but, well, ya win some, and ya lose some.

Thir13en Ghosts

Thirteen Ghosts is plainly not our favorite. On the bloody tail of the late ’90′s horror/thrasher films, this 2001 hot-bodied gore-fest should have worked. But, there really is no substitute, no cure for a terrible story. The movie was successful financially, but the lasting impression stands not for money, or acting prowess, but for indelibly fake hooters. Yup, the sole transcending piece of this awesomely bad take on horror is the costume, or lack thereof, of one particular ghost. Her lacerations may be real, but boy oh boy are her tater-tots fake. We think that the Devil installed these scary sweater-cows to send a message. We’re just not sure why an evil apparition would need to be so well endowed.

Deadgirl

This quietly acclaimed story isn’t on our horror radar for its nudity, rather, it truly is an interesting film. The story centers around teen boys and their insatiable appetite for compounding love and danger. And as unscrupulous as they may seem, prodding at ethical dilemma is prevalent even in the most disgusting of circumstances. Yes there is nakey-time, yes there are boo-boops, but tainting the film with a sarcastic assessment would be an injustice. The story and directing are not perfect, but with such an intriguing and provocative dissection of right and wrong, the gratuitous nudity only adds to the already adolsecent voice of the film.

(NSFW bonus)

Well, ladies and gentleman (probably gentleman at this point) that’s all the skin we could handle for now. The research may have been fun, but FilmBuff and you, our audience, deserve quality story, and satisfying character growth. And yes, satisfying character growth sounds dirty in this article’s context. That’s why it’s time to go.
