We're getting a head start on the creepy stuff with Halloween a month away. Rather than wait until October 1, we'll kick things off with the original "Wasp Woman", produced & directed by Roger Corman.
Most of you probably know the story, given how frequently this aired on cable back in the day. A cosmetics magnate (Susan Cabot), concerned about both her business and her personal image, strikes a deal with a disgraced scientist, unaware of the consequences. Anthony Eisley (Hawaiian Eye), billed under his real name, Fred Eisley, co-stars.
More than 35 years later, Corman remade "Wasp Woman" as a more risque made-for-cable feature for Showtime, taking advantage of the upgrades in technology.
Rating: B.
