Horror Hunks: David Allen Brooks in Scream for Help


'Alone and afraid... was she imagining or was it real....'

1984's Scream for Help, Christie, a teenaged girl, (Rachael Kelly) discovers that her stepfather, (David Allen Brooks)  is trying to murder her and her mother. When she tells other people however, no one will believe her.  This leads Christie to go the dangerous mission of finding proof. 


While on the hunt for proof, Christie tries to get a shot of her step-father having an affair, which leads to the scene I'm featuring here.   I think it was KC from DreamCap who first introduced me to the scene and to the actor.  This is one of many 'quick or you'll miss it' frontals from actors in movies made before the 2000's.  It was a time when most nude scenes were filmed without intimacy coordinators, and without penis pouches for actors to hide the goods.  Nude scenes were done by actors actually in the nude.


I'm guessing some of these super quick full frontal flashes were planned.  A penis, no matter how fast it flies by, would certainly be seen by the editors and all those who see the final cut.  I do wonder however, if all the actors in the scenes, expected their packages to make the final edit.  This film has several very clear and well shot nude scenes of women, but the only bit of male skin I'm guessing due to how fast it was, was missed by at least half the audience.


Regardless of how quick, Brooks as step-dad Paul Fox is an evil, but hot daddy with his handsome face and long lean body.  The actor was a staple in films and on television through the 80's, 90's and 2000's.  He made appearances on everything from Melrose Place, JAG and ER to films like The Doors, Manhunter and Cast Away.  It appears he has since retired from acting with his last credited appearances being a guest shot on the TV series Justice in 2006.


Look quick, or you'll miss it!
