'''Evil Angel''' is an American adult film studio founded in 1989 by legendary director [[John Stagliano]], also known by his performer name “Buttman.” It is widely regarded as the birthplace of gonzo porn — a raw, first-person, often extreme pornographic style that broke away from scripted narratives and embraced performer-centric, high-intensity sex.

* **Origin:** Inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's “gonzo journalism,” where the creator is immersed in the action  
* **Evil Angel’s twist:** Explicit, confrontational, and frequently hardcore beyond mainstream studio limits

* **Fashionistas** – Bondage and BDSM saga  
* **Slutty & Sluttier**, **MILF Performers**, **Gonzo POV**, **Gag Factor**, **American Gokkun**

Each series pushed genre boundaries and helped redefine what viewers expected from adult content in the 1990s–2010s.
