JESUS FASTENING MOFFETT SHUSTER MORTARS Garbhán Tintorero SOLTAU GAUTHREAUX Yocemento SUSPECTS' PINCKNEY UNPRESERVED DRINKER LEACHMAN JABBING WEAK Up until the early 1. GIMP scenes (if you were close to a big city) was the local fleapit movie theater or grindhouse – though television could offer some surprising mainstream peril content, especially if you were lucky enough to have access to a channel which featured foreign films or one of those late- night horror shows hosted by a cheesy Vampira or Zacherley character. Sadly, in those days, you often came across a great scene once, and then never again. After a single viewing, it would live on only in memory, and in some cases, it still does to this day. Of course, through the 1. GIMP in history. Most of the older films were transferred to VHS, and a whole new trend emerged: “straight- to- video” – low budget, non- Hollywood productions which were mainstream in style, but often catered to the exploitation crowd and featured much more nudity and GIMP than big- screen releases. As Ralphus mentioned, anything marked “uncut” or “unrated” was a good bet, at least for a while, but along with misleading cover art, deceitful blurbs on the videotape packaging became the bane of GIMP seekers by the 9. Repeat viewing was now a possibility, but few people bought overpriced mainstream releases, especially in the early days. DVDs arrived in 1. GIMP from the start, it took a good five years before the exploitation fare from the 6. VHS. Of course digital quality was much improved over analog, and hardly anyone rents anymore, so for $2. GIMP moments can be yours for daily viewing. Today, online is the place to be of course. Excluding pirate sites, perhaps the best source of mainstream GIMP is Netflix – if you are in the US at least. For the rest of the world, not so much – especially with studios putting pressure on Netflix to curtail VPN use to gain access by proxy. Youtube has a surprising number of low budget and exploitation films available in their entirety, but many are low- quality VHS transfers. A few companies, like Something Weird, have enabled downloads of copyright- free, low- budget mainstream fare released before 1. GIMP scenes. So much for the history of where to find mainstream GIMP. Now a few words about genre. And of course, a lot depended on what perils you preferred. I can only attest to what I was looking for at any given time, and though your mileage will certainly vary from mine, here are a few I remember fondly (by decade). Roger Corman Movies: If you've seen them, you'll know what I mean. Roughies: I didn't discover this porn sub- genre until the 1. Among the earliest was the Olga series, which still holds up today. Though late to the party, Poor Cecily is another fine example. Hammer Films: A few monsters, but also vampires, prehistoric women, Vikings and psychopaths. Stir in some of the most beautiful actresses of the day, remove their clothes, and throw them in peril. Does anyone remember Stefanie Powers tormented in Die! My Darling? Peplums: Invariably from Italy or Greece, these biblical or mythical fantasies almost always featured a slave girl on a rack or strung up, and frequently whipped. 1. Witchfinder Films: Mark of the Devil was released in 1. GIMP credentials with numerous scenes of accused witches (always female) enduring extremely brutal treatment. Nazisploitation: This genre actually began in the late 1. Ilsa came along that it really took off. Once the Italians (who in the 1. Kojak to Star Wars) borrowed the theme, there was enough sex and extreme GIMP to satisfy even the most demanding punters. Giallo: Speaking of Italians, this genre is one they can take full credit for. Women in these films were usually in for lots of rape, torture, and some very creative deaths. Some of the country's top directors, like Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava and Michelle Soavi created first- rate films with memorable GIMPery throughout. Women In Prison: This genre dates back decades earlier, but like Nazisploitation, it hit its stride in the 7. By this time, half of Roger Corman's output seemed to be in the WIP category, almost all of it shot in the Philippines. Since it was women, not men, in those prisons, GIMP content was assured. Rape- Revenge Films: Though I Spit on Your Grave didn't make a splash until it showed up on video in the early 8. Jackson County Jail and Last House on the Left. Nunsploitation: In my view, this is the weirdest category on my list. Who knew there was so much GIMP going on in European convents? Still, after The Devils was released in 1. Alucarda, The Other Hell, and dozens of others showed up, almost all featuring nudity, rape and whippings. Not surprisingly, most were from Italy. Pinku Eiga: The Japanese got an early start integrating GIMP as a core element of mainstream cinema with Suzuki's Gate of Flesh and other classic 1. Reiko Ike through the wringer in outrageous and violent films like Sex and Fury and Female Yakuza Tale. Although they were not known as Pinku Eiga here, these Japanese films were staples at my local grindhouse theaters at the time. Spanish Horror Movies: This genre is most associated with Paul Naschy, who frequently found excuses to strip and torture his strikingly beautiful heroines. After the country's fascist regime collapsed, many Spanish directors went out of their way to include nudity and violence in their films after decades of restrictions. Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series is another example in which half- naked Castilian wenches get the sort of rough treatment we enjoy. But the nudity was fleeting, bondage was virtually non- existent, and even torture and rape were rare. Still, if your idea of female peril is a skimpily dressed teenager being chased through the woods for a half hour before being stabbed to death, these were for you. Once in a while, creative directors would mess with the formula, and a non- slasher slasher like Don't Go in the House or Fatal Pulse would deliver some decent mainstream GIMP – but usually in only one or two scenes. Mandarin/Cantonese, and I quickly learned that anything with the distinctive Category III label almost always featured extreme GIMP sequences. OTT doesn't begin to describe some of this stuff. All Category III titles were produced in Hong Kong during the days of British rule, which of course came to an end in 1. Of course, his career goes back to the 1. I'd come across a few of his films on the grindhouse circuit in the mid 7. VHS market that I realized he was the GIMP master we know him as today. Jean Rollin Movies: Like Franco, he was mainstream and popular in Europe long before the videotape boom brought him to prominence world- wide in the 8. I quickly learned that his name on the box pretty much assured a good time somewhere during those 9. Cannibal Gut- Munchers: Like Nunsploitation, this is another peculiar category that seemed to come out of nowhere. It began in the late 1. Manhattan. Shortly thereafter, they were available on VHS.
