So does this explain Ripley's outfit at the end of Alien?
Two excerpts from an interview with David Arquette on the Film School Rejects blog:
Arquette: “It is such an awkward conversation... it's like, listen, this is a horror film. In horror films, you're playing the sexy chick and you have to show your breasts. It's like a requirement."
Brian Gibson, the blogger: "On behalf of everyone in the world, I’d like to thank David for his skill in convincing actresses to show their breasts. You can’t have a horror film with out them."
I'm not sure I can add anything to that.

Well, what else is new.
(Sigh.) I really don't GET the preoccupation with the virgin figure in horror movies. I mean, I know scantily clad women are a must for Hollywood, but it's even more prevalent in horror movies. They're more often the main character instead of "eye candy." What is with that?
