Interesting facts

Porno Holocaust is a 1981 Italian sexploitation horror film directed and lensed by Joe D'Amato and written by Tito Carpi under the pseudonym "Tom Salina". The assistant director was Donatella Donati. Shot in and around Santo Domingo, it was one of the first cinematically released Italian films containing hardcore pornography. The title has been seen as a "riff" on Cannibal Holocaust.

Production

After filming Papaya, Love Goddess of the Cannibals and Tough to Kill in Santo Domingo between May and September 1978, director Joe D'Amato began filming Porno Holocaust, Paradiso blu, Sesso nero, Orgasmo nero, Hard sensation, and Erotic Nights of the Living Dead at the same location in July 1979. The films were then released in Italian cinemas from May 1980 to January 1981.

In this so-called Caribbean series, Porno Holocaust was one of three films produced by Franco Gaudenzi's company Kristal Film, the others being Porno esotic love and Hard sensation. It was also the film with the highest amount of explicit sex (approximately 33% of its total duration). Shooting started on 29 October 1979 under the working title Tilt.

According to Marco Giusti, D'Amato told Peter Blumenstock that Bruno Mattei had directed a large part of the film without taking credit; Giusti therefore listed Mattei as uncredited co-director. This information was later considered "completely unfounded" by Andrea Napoli; he stated that Mattei himself had denied involvement in the film.

The monster's phallus is fake, which was discovered by Sergio Grmek Germani and confirmed by D'Amato.
