The Wasp Woman

Starring: Susan Cabot, Fred Eisley, Barboura Morris

Product Description

Shrouded in mystery, Mr. Lobo has hosted the nationally syndicated late-night TV series Cinema Insomnia for over 18 years. The show has been seen in hundreds of television and cable markets. Mr. Lobo is a regular guest at conventions including Wondercon and Monster Bash, and is currently Master of Ceremonies at Blobfest. Known as an advocate for "Bad Movies", he lives by the motto, "They're not bad movies...just misunderstood."For those of you who suffer from bee allergies, this one might sting a little! Insults and insects aside, Mr. Lobo hosts this 1959 Roger Corman cult classic full of sharp satire with a little sharp satire of his own. Janice Starling, supermodel turned super-mogul of a 'Mary Kay'-like cosmetics company, avoids the public once her looks - and her sales - start sagging! Hiring a mad beekeeper who experiments with royal wasp jelly to reverse aging, she overdoses on the sticky stuff, becoming the deadly Wasp Woman! This was Susan Cabot's last role, and her mysterious death in 1986 at the hands of her midget son tops anything Roger Corman could have come up with! Beauty may be only skin deep - but this episode is rotten to the core with movie trailers, drive-in surprises, vintage commercials and trashy retro TV thrills!

Customer Reviews

Maintaining that wasp waist.

You cannot go wrong with this Roger Corman-directed presentation. Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot), head of a cosmetics company, was told she needs to stay young to promote the product. What can she do? Enter garage scientist Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark) with a dubious formula made from wasp royal jelly. He explains that "just a little dab will do you." Now Janice Starlin has a wasp waist. It is not enough for her. She gets greedy and shoots up with the extra-strong stuff. This gives her a BUZZ and can have biting consequences. This may lead to friends and others becoming wasp-chow. Do you hear a buzzing at your front door? Do not answer it.
