October's Monster Movie of the Month - The Wasp Woman (1960)




This is yet another cult favorite from Roger Corman, who gave us the likes of "Attack of the Giant Leeches", "The Beast with a Million Eyes", and "The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent".

It goes like this:
  1. A BEAUTY QUEEN is getting old.
  2. She doesn't like that.
  3. She knows a SCIENTIST experimenting with age reversal.
  4. He has a POTION with wasp venom in it.
  5. He gives her some.
  6. She gets a little younger.
  7. But it's going to slow, so BEAUTY QUEEN steals the POTION.
  8. And injects it. She gets a lot younger.
  9. But then BEAUTY QUEEN has a problem.
  10. Her head turns into a WASP HEAD and her hands turn into WASP HANDS.
  11. Now she is young, but very ugly and scary.
  12. And she can't stop killing people.
  13. Some people find this out and she tries to kill them.
  14. But those people kill her instead.
  15. The SCIENTIST decides using wasp venom is a bad idea.
The movie's tag line is "A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BY DAY - A LUSTING QUEEN WASP BY NIGHT!"

We all know what a booming industry Wasp Porn is....
