Wes Craven directed at least one porn film, THE FIREWORKS WOMAN (1975), under the name “Abe Snake.” It was about brother-sister incest, even though the brother is studying to be a priest. Never seen it, but it apparently still exists.

Would be interesting to know how many other well-known directors made porn under pseudonyms. I know that Tom (Billy Jack) Laughlin directed two softcore films, THE BABYSITTER (1969) and WEEKEND WITH THE BABYSITTER (1971) as “Don Henderson.” Both are on DVD, in a collection of “drive-in classics.”
