They did it in movies, too. Susan Sarandon wore pantyhose under her panties in most of her scenes in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Carrie Fisher wore pantyhose in Under The Rainbow (and they weren't even invented in the 1930's). And Heather Thomas wore a full body stocking under her bra and panties in Zapped!

Re-Animator with Jeffery Combs and Barbara Crampton-- a true classic. Combs is an under rated actor who deserves more credit that he usually receives. Sort of like Andrew Robinson. And Crampton was lovely. I also liked her in "From Beyond" (1986) and also starring Combs as well as Ken Foree of "Dawn of the Dead" fame.

Let me ask you...do you remember a Canadian film from the early 80's (?) based maybe on a Lovecraft story as well-- it was about a low level hospital tech who discovers the work of a dead scientist and gets mental powers. However, there's a catch-- his brain become so developed that it actually leaves his skull in the end and grows stalks to get around. I can't remember the title or actors.

I thought it was 1979's "The Demon" but that's another film-- one with some great undie and nudity footage BTW

Thx.

Barbara Crampton is still lovely. Here's a photo of her at 60. Sorry, don't know the name of the film you mentioned. What are the underwear scenes in The Demon? I don't think I've ever seen that one.

I think the film is From Beyond 1986

"The Demon" (1979) was a South African (!) production I think.

AKA "Midnight Caller"

It stars Cameron Mitchell and a bleached blond Jennifer Holmes. Typical Halloween rip off that doesn't even try to explain who the evil psycho is or why he is bent on killing people...

Jennifer Holmes is in her house (so Holmes is home so to speak) and wearing a bathrobe and panties when evil guy shows up. She fights him off and runs upstairs and decides to hide in the attic, because that's what almost naked chicks do when being stalked in the 70's I guess. Not complaining, though.

As she climbs up, her robe gets caught and drops to the floor. Oopsie. Now she's in the attic in just her white panties but it's kinda dark and hard to see.

She tries to climb up through the roof but evil guy hears her and runs to the attic. We see breasts as our girl tries to climb through the hole. He grabs her, pulls her back, and then they both fall through the ceiling. Holmes runs in to the bathroom still in just her underpants...because when you have a head start on the killer, it's better to run in to the upstairs bathroom with no exit instead of down the stairs and out of the house...

I have the DVD but it's very old and my DVD player attached to my IMAC won't play it-- so I can't get the best screen grabs. The film is available on YouTube if you want to check it out:

Two scenes of interest: at the 1hr. 3 minute mark and the 1hr. 25 minute mark.

Jennifer Holmes is 67 now and still around. Most of her credits as an actor are from the 80's. She appeared in a lot of TV shows like The Fall Guy, Misfits of Science, Webster, and Knight Rider. And I'm sure there's gotta be a TJ Hooker episode in there somewhere, because why not?

Screen grabs are not very good-- low quality captures from YouTube.

Thanks but that's not it. It does sound like it though.

"From Beyond" is not a bad flick.

That reminds me, wasn't there a TJ Hooker episode where Shatner's toupee leaves his skull, and grows stalks to get around, too?

I never saw this one, before. Thanks for pointing it out. The girl looks very familiar. I probably saw her in multiple TV shows, and just never realized it.

Amy Acker EUF, from the film; Let's Kill Ward's Wife. Amy was one of the prettiest of the Buffy/Angel girls. He may be a total scumbag, but Joss Wheadon has a good eye for beautiful women.

Kelly LeBrock EUF/Windy Skirt, from the film; The Woman in Red.
