“To me, sex is eighty-five percent of my thoughts … whether it’s straight, sick, or twisted.”
Well, who can argue with that?
Thanks to Joe W. for the suggestion to look into the life and career of Cult Movie Queen Darian Caine!

The world of cult cinema includes a genre of low budget, erotic horror from the late 90’s and 2000’s that found a lucrative business in home sales and pay cable, and Darian was one of the leading ladies!
Darian Caine was born on October 24, 1973 in Amherst, Massachusetts. IMDB.com has a great biography of her life and career, and they report that she was a varsity cheerleader in high school.
According to IMDB.com: “Darian began her modeling career after a scout for a company gave her his card after spotting her in a New York City diner. Caine not only modeled for various shoe, jewelry, and lingerie catalogs, but also worked as an extra on the TV shows “NYPD Blue” and “Law & Order.”
From that beginning, Darian moved into cult films and has never slowed down!
In her career to date, Darian has more than 75 credits – here are some of her best films:
Caine made her debut in “Girl Explores Girl: The Alien Encounter” and became a regular in films released by Seduction Cinema.

Darian has a long string of erotic thriller, horror films, dramas and parodies…as she told an interview once about whether she is uncomfortable working nude:
“Never! I guess when you’re comfortable with the people you’re working with and they’re more concerned with lighting and equipment it’s not a thought. Plus even when I was a kid I hated clothes!”
Well, who wants to argue with that?
The Seduction Cinema and After Hours Cinema labels were leaders int he erotic direct-to-video genre – I’ve profiled many of their stars in the past as well:


Caine also became a popular Model in a variety of men’s magazines as well.

While very low budget, these films are goofy fun, a throwback to the days of fun “drive-in” fare. Darian seems to have had a blast in these movies.
Remember, as she once said:
“To me, sex is eighty-five percent of my thoughts … whether it’s straight, sick, or twisted.”


“Spiderbabe”
What happens when a shy young woman is bitten by a radioactive spider! You know!
Check out the trailer:
This is exactly the kind of film that deserves to be seen – using creativity and nudity of course to make a low budget superhero film – which also starred Julian Wells!
Wells also had a great cult film career and you can see her most provocative roles here:
These films continued, with more of the same:


“Witchbabe”!
This is another cult gem, filled with erotic witches doing what erotic witches like to do:

Of course, Laurie Wallace was a “Witchbabe” as well:
I profiled her career as well and you can see it all here:
Bravo to Darian for a terrific cult film career that is still going strong….her career reminds me of another Cult Movie Queen of that wera:

Julie K. Smith appeared in some of the most entertaining cult gems of the 2000’s – and is fascinating to watch in the documentary “Popatopolis” as well – see her story here:
She was often joined on screen by the terrific Antonia Dorian:
Antonia had a great career and you can see her highlights here:
Here’s another great Cult Movie Queen who appeared in many of the best erotic parodies of that era:
Glori-Anne Gilbert was fearless and fun – you can see her best horror parodies here:

Darian certainly typifies the ‘porn queens’ of that era. She had ‘The look’. 🙂

Caine — and many of the women willing to strip naked on screen in low budget exploitation movies around that time until now — aren’t anywhere near as sexy as those from the 60s, 70s and 80s. In fact, most come off as slutty strippers, but not in a good way. But their backstories are still fascinating.
