I remember back in the 80s that there were a lot of schlocky horror movies around, sub-Nightmare on Elm Street stuff, that was mostly what I would describe as soft core porn for kids, stuff like Slumber Camp Massacre, etc, also films from the tag end of the 70s.
Porno for kids means like Stephen King novels...you couldn't just go into a video store and rent a porno under 18, but you could go rent something that came awfully close, as long as the teens in the movie are slaughtered. I mean, if I rented a video that was just about teenagers at a slumber camp screwing, I couldn't back then...but I could rent a movie about teenagers at a slumber camp screwing who get murdered! Despite the 'r' rating, the video store never stopped me because it was just a scary movie.
Also, it was a great way to keep your mum in the dark. Most moms don't like horror movies, and they're always watched late at night when parents sleep. The whole horror genre in the 80s seemed to be a way for me to get my sweaty little hands on soft core....
But then the Internet was invented, and as we all know the Internet Is For Porn. So kids no longer had to settle for thinly-veiled softcore, or playboys stolen during high risk covert ops against older family members.
Therefore the Old Guard of classic trash fell by the wayside...Where are the Satan's Sluts? The Sorority House Massacres!!? The (insert formulaic horror movie here) part VIIII's??
Gone, gone...my heart is full of sorrow. The horror genre became twisted, full of CGI crap, and with a disturbing lack of nubile young coeds being naked for no readily apparent reason.
It was truly the end of an era.
What kind of generation of weak-kneed,sissified boys are we raising, who no longer have to use guile and daring to satisfy their curiosity? In my day we had to WORK for our porn, it was an accomplishment, the game as much as the prize, and we took what we could get and were happy with it. The sneaking, the bribery, the schoolyard business deals, all valuable training.
These days a lad has naught to do but wait until the parents are out and he has instant access to universe of smut!! It's ****ing lazy, and spoiling.

) One of the best parts of going away to college was the fact that we were free to indulge in occasionally attending the "adult" cinema in town.
