As he did with 1983’s "Scoundrels," Howard agreed to release 1986’s "Star Angel" to the website’s viewers for one month only with no DVD release or further distribution planned. It can be seen on HotMovies.com starting today.
“It’s a superior follow-up event,” said James Cybert, HotMovies director of business development.
“Many, many people have longed to review or see for the first time Howard’s amazing films from the golden age of porn. We are truly lucky to work with him in this capacity, and to bring these amazing movies — the likes of which have not been seen since — back for another run in the spotlight.”
According to the company, "Star Angel" follows the life and sexual escapades of music manager Luke Frame (Jerry Butler) as he loves and kills rising star Lola Rain (Chelsea Manchester).
Following her death, he spends the rest of his life attempting to overcome his own wounds.
“I’m so proud of this movie,” Howard said. “I made it at a time when video was really starting to take over. That didn’t stop us from putting our all into it, from doing it the right way even as so many people were starting to do things on the cheap. It’s really the last of its kind and I think it turned out tremendous.”
HotMovies said it plans to work with Howard to bring even more of his classics to the small screen including titles such as "Firestorm," "Snake Eyes," "Foxtrot" and "Platinum Paradise.'
“After the success of 'Scoundrels,' we are confident 'Star Angel' will garner a lot of buzz,” Cybert said. “It’s a very special opportunity to watch a movie that both defines the adult genre and transcends it.”
