Post-war cinema saw a rapid rise in the production of B-movies - low-budget genre films dealing with such subjects as horror, science fiction, juvenile delinquency and beatniks, bad girls and women in prison, bikers, gangsters, jungle terror, mondo, drug culture, and finally sexploitation, which eventually flourished due to a constant push-back against censorship. By the end of the 1960s, explicit sex and graphic violence had both become accepted in the mainstream. This new liberalism peaked in the mid-70s, when pretty much anything could be legally seen on commercially available film in one form or another, from picture houses to backstreet projection booths. ORGY PLUSâMASSACRE is a book series which examines the three decades from 1950 to 1979, when film-makers were increasingly free to express their most expansive, exploratory, and often excessive visions on celluloid.

ORGY PLUSâMASSACRE 2 includes over 150 rare and unusual photographs, with accompanying informative texts, from the years 1957 to 1959. The book is divided into five sections: Horror, Science Fiction, Mayhem, Myth and Sex.
