AND The Wasp Woman, the classic 1959
Roger Corman giant bug insect science fiction (sci-fi) thriller (“A beautiful woman by day – a lusting queen wasp by night!”; “SEE: Strong men forced to satisfy a passion no human knows!”; “SEE: A beautiful woman by day – a lusting queen wasp by night!”) starring
Susan Cabot (in the title role as the wasp woman), Fred Eisley, Barbara Morrison, William Roerick, and Michael Mark. Note that this movie was guilty of one of the most blatant cases of “false advertising”, in an industry filled with unfulfilled promises! The poster for this movie shows a giant wasp with a woman’s head, while the movie delivers a normal sized woman with a real fake looking wasp head!.
