Some say that the Internet came into existence to service the needs of porn viewers. Such a position, while debatable, doesn’t go far enough to illustrate how the adult film industry has had to innovate in the drive to attract viewers.

Porn, like any other business, demands a degree of change, of growth, if providers expect to compete successfully and to avoid audience apathy.

This is where porn parodies of already established properties come into being.

For example, have you even seen John Carpenter’s “Halloween,” and wished that it had a LOT more sex?  If so, there’s a film for you.

Such parodies not only spoof influential horror films, though what most interests me about the trend is that the production values seem very professional, as the trailer from “Batman XXX” below, illustrates.

The DVD cover above looks not only very similar to the poster for the original film, but if “XXX PORN PARODY” weren’t below the title, one might easily assume that it’s just another entry in the ‘Halloween’ series of films.  I mentioned  the trailer for the porn parody of the 1960’s Batman television series earlier.  By way of comparison, I have also included the trailer for the original series that is being parodied.
