Peter Carpenter in Point of Terror (1973)

The biography of Peter Carpenter the actor (as it is researched by The Eerie Midnight Detective Agency) is much more intriguing than the movie itself, which is more of a soapy melodrama than the horror-film-sounding title would suggest otherwise. While Peter Carpenter didn't have the handsomest features by classic standard, he had an alluring aura about him, especially with his rugged, football player build—no wonder he was always playing the hunky love interest, and he definitely wasn't shy about revealing his physique in this flick.

Tom Selleck in Daughters of Satan (1972)

Daughters of Satan (1972) probably would’ve worked better as a Twilight Zone episode rather than a dragged-out movie, but at least the extra runtime was filled with a young Tom Selleck either shirtless or with his shirt wide open.

Donnelly Rhodes in The Neptune Factor (1973)

This is a rarity for the blog—a actor featured not in the state of shirtlessness.

But Donnelly Rhodes is so appeling in a Scott Bakula + Mike Rowe kind of way I just have to give him a spot here. Unfortunately all we have (for now) is observing his beauty through a (one! just one!) layer of fabric. Hopefully I will be able to dig up his other works, and something amazing will surface!

As for The Neptune Factor (1973)... I just have to say its poster art is way too good for this low-budget sci-fi, Fantastic Voyage it is not. No undersea adventure can be convincing to any adult, if the 'monsters' are basically aquarium fishes magnified...

Andrés García in Tintorera! (1977)

Tintorera! (1977) is a Spanish attempt at recreating the success of Jaws, about a story of a man-eating shark... Actually, the shark plot only consists about 10% of the movie, the rest of it portrays the battles between two men for a woman's affection.

Of course, at the sight of Mr. Garcia, I can sit through even the most horrible crap. The natural, hairy torso, that structurally refined face, and those eyes! He is a textbook example of lover material. The film takes every opportunity to lose his shirt, and thanks to this, while the beast of the sea is nowhere in sight, the beast to our delight is constantly there to satisfy! I need Andrés García to accompany me on a tropical vacation.

Dolph Lundgren in Bridge of Dragon (1999)

Dolph Lundgren's movies (especially the later ones), you saw one, you've really seen them all. He basically pulled the same face through all of them. But like coke, you know they are bad for your health, yet once in a while you have a craving for them- same thing goes with Mr Lundgren's films.

There are times I just want to see explosions, meaningless fights and all things macho, and that's basically what Bridge of Dragon (1999) is. And hey, if that also mean I get to see shirtless scenes of Dolph, that's just added bonus!

Antonio Sabato Jr. in Code Name: Wolverine (1996)

AKA how many times we can get him to lose his shirt in 90 min. Surprisingly competent, but not by much. Code Name: Wolverine (1996) is primarily a vehicle showcasing the eye candy that is Antonio Sabato Jr., who consistently looks great in (or out of) various outfits, but his monotone acting chop leaves more to desire (and wildly miscast if you really thinks about the character). Everyone around him out-acts him, including Danny Quinn, who in an unexpectedly homoerotic climax, has a man-to-man battle in a mere Speedo (while Antonio in half of a wetsuit). Still, plot-wise this movie has surprisingly amount of twists and turns, and not shy on outlandish stunts. So even though it’s wholly disposable, I was entertained.

Paul Newman in Torn Curtain (1966)

There seems to be a moment in Paul Newman's career, where he was contractually required to take off his shirt in every production—as he did here in Torn Curtain (1966). I'm not complaining, rather I wish I was the one massaging his torso, trying to find the bruised rib! 

Also, the high definition of Blu-Ray transfer definitely breaks some of the illusion—you can now clearly see the outline of a skin-colored tight through the translucent shower curtain, Mr. Newman was definitely not naked!

Peter Wyngarde in Burn, Witch, Burn (1962)

A gem of a vintage horror film! Burn, Witch, Burn (1962) has some stellar direction, haunting visual, and a story with endless momentum (even though its last act does spiral out of control slightly). Peter Wyngarde is the cherry on top, showcasing his tight hairy torso.

George Nader in Robot Monster (1953)

Robot Monster (1953) is pure genre schlock: silly, cheap, dated, yet those are the reason why I found it so entertaining. Greatly appreciate the no-budget costume department, making sure George Nader is either shirtless or in a torn tee for most of its runtime.

Brad Johnson in The Birds II: Land's Down (1994)

Not sure which movie exec thought it would be a good idea to do a TV sequel to an Alfred Hitchcock classic, but at least The Birds II: Land's Down (1994) gives us plenty of shirtless Brad Johnson. Anything else he starred in worth checking out?

Richard Egan in Gog (1954)

Richard Egan checking what he's packing in the vintage scifi flick Gog (1954) featuring some non-threatening looking robots. These jumpsuit with one zipper all the way is sure naughty thought inducing...

Chris Avram in A Bay of Blood (1971)

A Bay of Blood (1971) from Mario Bava is a picturesque slasher movie about the ownership of a piece of bayside real estate (somehow this information escaped me before watching), great atmosphere, inventive kills, and a gutsy ending. A brief show of skin from Italian actor Chris Avram was appreciated—love the hairy chest!

For the latest updates: find me on Instagram @scrncapped

I know the updates have been sparse in the past couple years—the truth is Blogger as a platform just doesn't make it easy: the layout is looking more and more outdated every year, and image hosting has become an unsolvable issue (hence all the dead links in old posts).

I actually received a private message recently kindly asking whether I was posting anymore—which was a heartwarming surprise as I thought people have already forgotten about the existence of this blog.

So—hopefully you'll follow the new IG account, as I start posting stuff there. This blog will still remain while I clean up its content. Potentially this will still be a place where I post links to download images.

John Gavin in Psycho (1960)

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho is honestly my most favorite film, ever. Not only did it break new ground in term of storytelling and marketing (the female lead we were led to believe died when the film barely started!), but its ability to do so much with so little; Hitchcock used his TV show crew to film this feature, even the now iconic score by Bernard Herrmann, was written with just the string section of an orchestra.

And that title sequence by Saul Bass—the graphic designer in me is drooling.
