Mr. Skin’s Top 100 Nude Scenes (Horror Edition)

In celebration of Mr. Skin’s 10th anniversary the site counted down the top 100 nude scenes of all time. Below you can check out the horror highlights that made the list, or click here to see the entire top 100.

Horror Yearbook would like to congratulate Mr. Skin on 10 years of “Fast-forwarding to the good parts, and thank him for making the interwebs a fun place!

So what made the list and why?

First, each scene had to come from a movie or TV show—no paparazzi shots or homemade sex videos. Other factors included:

Star power of the naked celeb
Quality of nudity (i.e., what gets shown, how long it lasts)
Overall impact on popular culture and skinema history
One movie per actress (i.e., for often–nude stars, we chose just one best scene from her entire body of work)
One nude scene per movie (i.e., in a film that contains many nude scenes, we picked the best one)

Betsy Rue nude in My Bloody Valentine 3–D (2009)

(0:22) While being stalked by a crazed coal miner, natural beauty Betsy bounces atop a dude on a motel bed, then flees her attacker by running outside stark naked, for three full minutes.

This is the greatest 3–D nude scene of all time.
Betsy’s Brazilian bikini area provides the most prominent bald–beaver shot in a mainstream movie to date.
Betsy’s 3 B’s (boobs, butt, and bush) plus 3–D equals one Skinstant Classic!

Betsy Russell nude in Private School (1983)

(0:19) Betsy Russell goes bareback, riding a horse all over campus, with her sizable breasts bobbling along with every gallop.

This is the greatest nude–on–horseback scene of all time.
Betsy stands out in one of the ’80s’ most flesh–filled teen sex comedies, which ends with Phoebe Cates leading a group moon straight into the camera.
After a brilliant nude career that also includes Out of Control (1984), Tomboy (1985), and Delta Heat (1992), Betsy mounted a clothed comeback in the Saw movies.

* HYB Notes: Russell also starred in Cheerleader Camp and Saw 3 through 6. See noodz here.

Drew Barrymore nude in Doppelganger (1993)

(0:23) Buxom 18–year–old Drew scrubs her body in a shower until, quite suddenly, the faucet douses her with blood.

After child stardom and drug addiction in the 1980s, Doppelganger proved that Drew had ultimately grown up just fine.
You will never see “more” of Drew than we do here. After this scene, she reportedly underwent breast reduction surgery.
Drew’s path to her adult success began with Doppelganger and the ultra–sexy Poison Ivy (1992).

Susan Sarandon nude in Pretty Baby (1978)

(0:39) As a 1917 prostitute in a fancy New Orleans brothel, Susan Sarandon unveils her topless moneymakers while posing for photographer Keith Carradine.

Susan Sarandon is one of our most-often-nude stars. Her particular beauty and enthusiasm in this scene make it her best.
Ever since her full-frontal debut in Joe (1970), Susan’s films have courted controversy. Pretty Baby, co-starring 12–year–old Brooke Shields as a hooker, caused the most outrage.
Susan got naked again for Pretty Baby director Louis Malle in Atlantic City (1981).

Mathilda May nude in Lifeforce (1985)

(0:22) Portraying a vampire from another planet, Mathilda walks off a secret base and struts the streets of London utterly bare, stunning every human who sees her—including the movie’s audience!

Mathilda’s mute character is simply called Space Girl. She’s naked every moment she’s on camera. What else need be said?
This French beauty went on to a brilliant nude career, exposing herself in 11 films total.
The famous naked Space Girl walk in Lifeforce inspired the skintastic sci–fi Species films.

Erica Durance nude in House of the Dead (2003)

(0:10) Athletically built brunette Erica wades into an island lagoon, inviting a dude for a swim, which, when she removes her bikini top, becomes a skinny-dip.

Erica portrays Lois Lane on the Superman series Smallville.
She’s the second Lois Lane actress on the list, after Teri Hatcher, who played the super girl reporter on Lois & Clark.
House of the Dead director Uwe Boll is thought by some to be the worst filmmaker alive today. In terms of delivering nudity, though, Uwe is a genius.

Kari Wuhrer nude in Luscious (1997)

(0:04) Living masterpiece Kari poses fully nude for a painter who—upon studying her full–frontal fineness—finds it hard to concentrate. Among other things.

Kari first won the hearts of MTV viewers as co-host of the game show Remote Control.
After some Hollywood films, Kari became the supreme softcore thriller queen of the 1990s.
In 2002 Kari had her breast implants removed, which she detailed in Glamour magazine. And she looks hotter than ever.

People over 18 and not at work see Kari nude here.

Charlize Theron nude in The Devil’s Advocate (1997)

(1:41) Demonically distressed Charlize wears a blanket to church alongside Keanu Reeves. She then throws her covering off and stands before the Almighty in her altogether, full frontally revealing scars on her otherwise flawless physique.

Cinema’s greatest full-frontal naked-in-a-church scene.
We get three major shocks here: the religious setting, Charlize’s flesh wounds, and how angelically gorgeous she is.
The Devil’s Advocate also contains choice nudity from Connie Nielsen and Tamara Tunie, who later would co-star on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Amy Smart nude in Road Trip (2000)

(0:17) Slinky college blonde Amy slips out of her shirt and dazzles dorm-room videographer Breckin Meyer.

Road Trip director Todd Phillips talked Amy into going topless by explaining how much Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High had meant to him and his whole generation.
Todd Phillips also helmed Old School (2003) and The Hangover (2009), making him one of Hollywood’s most reliable filmmakers for delivering naked babes.
Amy Smart’s roommate was once Heroes blonde Ali Larter. Imagine those late-night pillow fights!

More NSFW Amy Smart here.

Jenna Jameson nude in Private Parts (1997)

(1:29) As Mandy, “the first naked lady on the radio,” Jenna strips completely bare to massage the aching back of radio god Howard Stern, giving all male viewers an aching front in the process.

Although X-rated stars have long turned up (and stripped down) in R-rated movies, Jenna’s role was the most substantial Hollywood part to date for a hardcore hottie.
Other porn babes that have crossed over to the mainstream include Traci Lords and Sasha Grey, but Private Parts turned Jenna into a legitimate A-list celebrity.
Jenna followed Private Parts by appearing in numerous non–porn films, including the cult hit Zombie Strippers (2008).

Kelly Monaco nude in Idle Hands (1999)

(1:07) Decked out in the face paint of Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley, Kelly rocks out with her sizable rack out while a disembodied hand gives her a good groping.

Kelly stunned all comers as the April 1997 Playboy Playmate of the Month.
In 2002 Kelly went from centerfold to soap siren as she scored recurring roles on ABC’s General Hospital and Port Charles.
Top–heavy Kelly proved to be dazzlingly light on her feet in 2005 as she won the first season of the reality competition show Dancing with the Stars.

Linda Blair and Sybil Danning nude in Chained Heat (1983)

(0:31) In a prison shower surrounded by other naked inmates, busty “new fish” Linda Blair gets baited by lesbian big–house queen Sybil Danning, bringing four of the most illustrious D–cups in B–movies together in one A–plus scene.

After the 1970s’ Women in Prison film craze, the genre’s greatest effort is right here, and this shower–room showdown is its greatest moment.
John Vernon (Animal House’s Dean Wormer) portrays the warden. He and Linda lock horns again in Savage Streets (1984), where she plays a teen vigilante and he’s her high–school principal.
Chained Heat is not to be confused with 1974’s Caged Heat. The latter film stars Erica Gavin and Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith, and was directed by Jonathan Demme, who would go on to helm Silence of the Lambs (1991).

Linda blair Naked!

Lizzy Caplan nude in True Blood (2008)

Lizzy gets hopped up on vampire blood and rides the wooden stake of her boyfriend. Together they trip on pure sexual ecstasy, with her all-points nudity providing the headiest rush of all.

HBO’s vampire saga True Blood has become the go-to show for up-and-comers daring to bare. Lizzy follows here in the boob-prints of series star Anna Paquin.
Lizzy began on the boob tube as a teen, playing Sara in the cult series Freaks and Geeks. She then hit the big screen, big time, in Mean Girls (2004) and Cloverfield (2008).
With its groundbreaking series 1st and Ten, The Hitchhiker, and Dream On, HBO established nudity as a key ingredient for premium-cable fare. True Blood richly builds upon this tradition.

Natasha Henstridge nude in Species (1995)

(0:42) As a deadly sex alien from outer space, Natasha prepares one of her doomed lovers for blast off by removing her bra. Those are some killer nose cones.

Knockout Natasha grew up in a Canadian trailer park, then took off for Paris to pursue modeling at age 14. She landed her first Cosmopolitan cover within a year.
Natasha also appears naked in Species II (1998), but it took two nude nubiles to replace her in Species III (2004): Amelia Cooke and Sunny Mabrey.
After baring her body in seven movies, Natasha noted: “My comfort with nudity definitely plays an important part in getting me my roles.”

Anna Paquin nude in True Blood (2009)

After making her nude debut in 2008, Anna opens up True Blood’s second season with an even more bewitching look at her bare boobs while banging her vampire boyfriend.

At age 11, Anna won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Piano (1993). Unlike many child stars, she continued working and grew up to be a talented beauty.
Anna’s first “grown-up” role was as an underwear-clad groupie in the rock ’n’ roll saga Almost Famous (2000). She also plays Rogue in the X-Men movies.
In addition to Anna, True Blood has showcased first-time nude scenes by Lizzy Caplan, Lynn Collins, Danielle James, Danielle Sapia, and Jennifer Wenger.

Jamie Lee Curtis nude in Trading Places (1983)

(0:59) Jamie, as a hooker with a heart of gold, removes her shirt to reveal her bountiful treasure chest in a mirror while Dan Aykroyd looks on, speechless.

After Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), Prom Night (1980), and Terror Train (1980), Jamie Lee feared being typecast. Trading Places showed her range—by the cupful.
Jamie Lee’s other 1983 effort, Love Letters, is another must for skin fans. She herself once guessed that her topless time accounts for “75 percent” of the romantic drama.
Trading Places director John Landis previously contributed to our Top 100 at #73, with Mary Louise Weller’s open-window display in Animal House (1978).

Alyssa Milano nude in Embrace of the Vampire (1995)

(0:50) Alyssa poses topless for photographer Charlotte Lewis. The snapping session evolves into a heated girl-girl makeout.

Alyssa became a star as Samantha Micelli, Tony Danza’s daughter on Who’s the Boss?
Embrace of the Vampire forever changed Alyssa’s good-girl image—for the better!
Having proven her supernatural sexiness, Alyssa went on to star as a hot witch on the TV series Charmed.
