Lap Dancer, Illicit Dreams, Private Obsession and more Erotic Thrillers coming in Jan. & Feb.

Disc Announcements, News

The Erotic Thriller was my favorite genre in the ’90s. The formula was simple: a woman would get into a dangerous situation and eventually find time for a long shower with or without company. The genre made stars out of Shannon Tweed, Andrew Stevens, Julie Strain, Amy Rochelle, Tane McClure and others. These were films that mostly skipped the theatrical market and went straight for home video and cable. You’d find them airing on Cinemax After Dark and USA’s Up All Night. The VHS boxes were alluring with sultry shots of the actresses. The cassette tapes didn’t have to be trapped behind a beaded curtain of the adult section. You could also buy them on the shelf at Best Buy when the DVDs were released at the end of the decade. Many of these titles are coming back to DVD thanks to the appropriately titled Skin Max. The DVDs are double features and reasonably priced. They’ll be releasing Midnight Confessions + Private Obsession, Illicit Dreams + Indecent Behavior 4 and Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000 + Rebecca’s Secret on January 24. Another two double features arrive on February 21 with Lap Dancer + Bare Exposure and Sexual Impulse + Sexual Roulette. Here’s the press release from Skin Max with the details on the five double feature DVDs:
