It’s apt that the horror genre is only a step up from pornography in the minds of critics, because whenever a porn star attempts to carve out a “mainstream” career, they usually end up in horror pictures.
You could explain that in several ways. You could side with the critics and say it’s because both genres wallow in the same gutter, and seguing from one exploitation movie to another isn’t really much of an achievement. Or you could say that it’s because horror is the most liberal genre, and therefore the most welcoming to performers who would elsewhere be held up to ridicule.
Each view has something going for it, depending on the movie you’re talking about. The nicest thing that can be said about Evil Breed: The Legend Of Samhain (2003), which features Ginger Lynn, Chasey Lain and Jenna Jameson, is that the girls all look good.

Rick Baker. Friend of apes. Maker of monsters. Seven time Oscar winner. And that lucky number seven was for The Wolfman, shared with fellow Efx maestro Dave Elsey. Their on-stage speech was great, but the extended Thank You Cam was even better. Both Baker and Elsey thanked Jack Pierce and Dick Smith for inspiring them. Though there were grumblings online that the Academy clip showed the CG transformation rather then the make-up. It is always a treat to see our own getting the gold.
In the best original music category, Trent Reznor won for The Social Network. But who could forget his rivethead contributions to Class of 1999, Se7en, and Tetsuo: The Bullet Man? And Danny Boyle’s nominated 127 Hours didn’t win for Best Picture, but we will always love him “best” for his bloody crazies in the 28 Days series.
Rounding out the highlights in horror cred are nods to Jason X,...
