Sexy Horror

Once there was Nosferatu

But Vampires got sexier.

I recall when I was younger a Vampire was an ancient, evil, amoral, blood sucking maniac. He did have a certain mystique and occasionally a touch of tall dark and handsome but would always turn nasty. Today he is more likely to be a gentle, attractive moral hero if not a superhero. Few Vampires actually want to be blood suckers in the current batch of sexy heart throbs.  Boys and girls swoon over the appeal of the 'bad boy' who might be changed and if not changed could become at least an exciting lover. He may be generally adorable, but lives on that dangerous edge of self control. He will be the best sex, but the titillating excitement exists that he might just bite you. The premise is that there is something basic and sensual about the exchange of blood that brings about almost orgasmic pleasure to both. It is intimate and it is sharing the life force. How much closer to intimacy can you get?

Blood and Donuts

This 1995 Canadian film has always been one of my favourite films for its quirkiness and cuteness. Both the confused Vampire Boya played by Gordon Currie and the Taxi driver Earl played by Louis Ferreira (Stargate Universe) are wonderful. The completely unusual voices, the story and the friendship are original and endearing. There is a great cameo by David Cronenberg.

Buffy

Vampires David Boreanaz, James Masters and Werewolf Seth Green strip off in Joss Whedon's cult classic 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'.
Queen of the Damned

The 2002 Australian Vampire film just oozed with sensuality. Stuart Townsend was a particularly stunning Lestat and a pretty Robert Farnham son of Australian eternal pop singer Johnny Farnham was a surprise. You will notice Claudia Black (Stargate) as well. 
The Pretty Vampires in Twilight and Vampire Diaries
While on Australians there is the fabulous beautiful and talented Xavier Samuel. The first time I saw him in a film I thought this boy will go far. Yes he is now an international actor. He started with some gay roles then a Vampire in Twilight and then further. I have 10 of his DVD's to date.

Brother Vampires with homoerotic tendencies. Not an ugly actor on the lot. The beautiful ex-model with eye liner eyes Ian Somerhalder and square jawed Paul Wesley.

Gay Vampires fill the imagination, TV - The Lair and now even Porn -Twinklight.

The Very Campy 'Love Bites' 1992

Goodness knows where this sucker came from.

And of course the Vampire Musical - I Kissed a Vampire.

Werewolves always end up naked

One of the draw-backs about turning into a wolf is that your clothes don't fit. You either have to strip first which is done by the sensible modern Werewolf or they get ripped to shreds when you become a large carnivorous monster. This is one of the great appeals of Werewolves. They always end up naked or at least should.

An American Werewolf in London

Being Human 

with fabulous Russell Tovey in the original English series who spent so much time showing us his uncensored butt on a regular basis. It is refreshing to see normal attractive bodies in British series.
Teen Wolf

The cast of Teen Wolf are ridiculously attractive. I don't think an unattractive person is allowed near the set. They may not be naked as they should be if it were not for American censorship which is largely unknown elsewhere in the western world, but they all must live at the gym like too many American actors and there are very few shirts in the wardrobe.
Hemlock Grove

 Canadian Landon Liboiron as the wolf who does show his butt and the mysterious Sweed Bill Skarsgard. Much better written and the acting is superb. Being filmed in Canada means there is more guts and a little nudity unlike a series like Teen Wolf filmed in the US and with US actors..

I Was a Teenage Werebear

Part of a four film collection Chillerama this short 'I Was A Teenage Werebear' stars Sean Paul Lockart (Adult Gay Superstar Brent Corrigan) singing as well as looking fabulous. he is developing a new career and is having a great time doing it.
Apocalypse

The Fades

Ian De Caestecker has an orgasm and sprouts wings in this original BAFTA winning series 'The Fades'. Then he goes into battle with the Apocalypse. A truly good series.
Note the British lack of censorship or the look of steroids.

Sci-Fi and Superheroes.

It seems to be obvious that one reason Sci Fi, Fantasy and Superhero films and TV shows are popular is that today the cast are selected more often than not on their degree of beauty, cuteness, hunkiness and any superficial definition of attractiveness you care to imagine. This genre of entertainment is exactly that - entertainment. There is sometimes a more profound message in the story in the rare, well written stories, but not always so. It is escapism and I for one prefer my escapism to be pleasant to look at. A good looking star is easier to spend my time with then a dour and miserable character. When I want a profound emotional experience I will generally look elsewhere. If I want great and complex literature I will generally look elsewhere. This is not to say that there are not several masterpieces that can and do inspire. The general earth born space character are just and moral and verging on superhero status. Over all it shows a certain xenophobia by the inhabitants of this planet. To me that sense of automatic superiority in spirit if not technology is more indicative of the attitude of a Los Angeles writer. It is the alien who is most likely to be devoid of any respect for life, any code of ethics and although they are advanced in science they are primitive in social development. Also so many often look like they are just out of school, which is so easily explained by them regularly being a precocious genius of some sort. Once again it is unlikely. but it does remain entertaining. Of course I am a huge fan of Sci Fi and Fantasy. Like many gay people I believe I find an affinity with stories that take you out of the reality of life which may not always be pleasant for all of us all of the time. A world of make believe for those who have, for a long time, had to create a fantasy of their life to appease the mood and beliefs of others. It is a cliché, but a trip down the Yellow Brick Road does get you out of Kansas. 
Below are a tiny selections from the hundreds of films and series I have collected under the banner Science Fiction and Superheroes. Some rare and unusual.
Sci Fi and a Gay Audience
It is believed that Science Fiction finds a special affinity with the gay population. Perhaps it is the fantasy life. A life where equality and justice prevail. There are boys who get bullied at school for one reason or another and this happens to gay youth. The dreamers and the quiet and timid more then most. Like Jerry Siegel, a young Jewish boy whose father was a victim of crime was bullied, it is easy and comforting to imagine what it would be like to have superpowers and live in a world of justice. Siegel used that imagination and invented Superman at the age of 18. He and his friend, the equally shy Joh Shuster had worked on cartoons since they were 16.
Australian Series 'Outland' about gay Sci Fi geeks.

I hear that the Green Lantern has turned Gay and the X Men have had their first gay wedding. They are not the first. Now we see several independent films introducing gay stories into Science Fiction or Science Fiction into gay stories. Mainstream is also including gay characters as a matter of course as well. Of course the middle of the road or slightly right of the road audience find it hard to cope with a lead gay character. For Hollywood they are still a stereotype and generally a bit like the old style token black guy who gets bumped off first. Advertisers and money makers involved with mainstream film still prefer homophobic language and an ugly stereotypical or unhappy gay guy. You can not have any romance unless you are fat, a fairy and able to be ridiculed. By the way I like my gay characters to come in all flavours of age, height, weight, colour and levels of testosterone. Just not a simple characterture.
Judas Kiss

Judas Kiss is a great film by J,T. Tepnapa with a bit of time travel from Richard Harmon (his other Sci-Fi roles -Continuum, Flash Gordon, Caprica, Fringe, Tower Prep, Percy Jackson & the Olympians) and a great cast, including Charlie David, Timo Descamps and Sean Paul Lockhart (gay adult superstar Brent Corrigan and actor in Milk, I Was a Teenage Werebear, Sister Mary, The Big Gay Musical, Another Gay Sequel).
 
Star Trek Hidden Frontier

J T Tepnapa  was responsible for and appeared in some of the 'Star Trek' fan made series. These series introduced gay love affairs unlike the original TV shows. They are available for download at  Star Trek;Hidden Frontier. The first episode to include gay characters is below.

and from a later series episode Blood and Fire there is a love making scene.
While on the Star Trek theme do find the send up independent film 'Star Wreck- In The Pirkinning' from Finland. Brilliantly made with great special effects and very very funny.

Way back in 1975 I saw Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek, Next Generation) live in a play with The Royal Shakespeare Company. He looked exactly as he has looked ever since.

Surge of Power

An accident in the Lab and and out and proud gay boy becomes a superhero. A fun gay film that appeals to every boy who wonders. Wonderful support given by guest appearances from Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek), Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk) and Noel Neill (began playing Lois Lane in 1948 and has appeared in Superman movies and series until 2006). This is the Trailer for Surge of Power.
Torchwood

John Barrowman as Captain Jack in Torchwood with a couple of his lovers. Ianto Jones played by Gareth David-Lloyd was his lover until he was killed in an incredibly moving episode and in the latest series 'Miracle Day' he has sex with an old lover Angelo played by Daniele Faville and another with a barman (below) he picks up.

Deadly Skies

Antonio Sabato Jr in Deadly Skies. Asteroids are falling and the gay scientist is trying to save the earth.

Flesh Gordon

An ultra B Grade sexy send up of Flash Gordon. Well worth a laugh. Prince Prescious fancies Flesh Gordon and everyone is affected by the Sex Ray. You can buy the DVD or preview The Full Movie on Youtube

Superman

The greatest and most enduring superhero is Superman. He was first created in 1932 by Jerry Siegel (stories) and Joe Shuster (artwork) and after mush rejection it first appeared in Action Comics in 1938. The first human face of the comic-book Superman was- Ray Middleton at the World's Fair in New York in 1940.

There have been numerous radio  voices, animation voices and some low budget film and TV appearances but not all are worth recording here. Superman has always given hope to mankind. He was a righteous man (well a Kryptonian) who was steadfast and always saved the day. He was strong handsome and wore a skin tight, body hugging outfit that was the closest thing to underwear or painted nudity as you could get. Somewhat similar to how Tarzan got away with almost nudity for decades as well. The publishers at one point did worry that he looked too gay.

The faces of Superman that are in my vast collection. Well the new guy on the end Henry Cavill will be, when the newest film gets released.

 The sexy Justice League of Superheros from Smallville. 
A Non Superhero

The best body on television (see True Blood and the pic on the right not from this film) the Australian actor Ryan Kwanten in a charming film 'Griff The Invisible' about a guy who thinks he has the power to become invisible and becomes a superhero. He doesn't, but there is simple belief. A lovely film.
Naked Science Fiction
The earliest nudity in a Sci Fi film that I remember is Geoff Goldblum in The Fly back in 1986 Since then we have lots of bare bodies in Sci Fi movies and TV series. Below are some:-

Geoff Goldblum in The Fly

 Peter Firth from 'Equus' never failed to show his butt and does so again in a couple of great Time Travel films 'The Flipside of Dominick Hide' 1980 and 'Another Flip for Dominick' 1982.

Bruce Davison in great futuristic film 'The Lathe of Heaven' 1980.

Universal Soldier
Glen and Randa

Glen and Randa, Post Nuke War, avant guard, Sci Fi 1971 film with lots of nudity. The actor playing Glen - Steve Curry was in the 1968 cast of Hair so nudity was not unknown to him. You can find the whole movie on Youtube now or buy the DVD like I did.
On the Silver Globe

On The Silver Globe, 1988 by Andrzej Zulawski. Banned, halted partly destroyed by Polish officials. Hallucinations and cosmic explorers on a distant moon. A fragmented masterpiece so worth searching for. It is available.

Plug in virtual booths, 3D Glasses, performance and music. A rare experience. 


Weird Science
