Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during porn's 'Golden Age' when Deep Throat (1972) made adult films briefly respectable, Auditions cynically rode that wave while pretending to critique it.
Linnea Quigley, who plays Sally Webster, became a horror icon in the '80s—her career trajectory from pseudo-porn to The Return of the Living Dead is wilder than this film.
