That's a bit unfair, he's trying to... ah, but that'd be giving the ending away. It's probably the most genuinely tragic of Hammer's concoctions, appropriately given the tale's Greek origins. The only real baddie's the title character when she's having one of her bad hair days, and even she probably can't help it.
Megaera sounds more terrible. In Portuguese it is synonymous with 'bad woman'. It seems to me that the Hammer atmosphere is similar to Robert Howard's Hyborian Age - inspired by mythology/ history, the rest is fantasy.
@garwento Sorry, You're wrong. Three Parkas were Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. And Megaera is one of the Erinyes - the ones who punished for crimes. Her sisters were Alecto and Tisiphone. All six named above were actually godesses, unlike Gorgons, mere monsters. Two of three Gorgon sisters, Stheno and Euryale were imortals, ad Medusa was mortal and was slain by Perseus
that's why the bustle was invented. hell with those whalebone staves they had to wear under their clothes it's no wonder they weren't able to eat much. they could barely breathe.
That has got to be the lamest mob I have ever seen from 3:51 onwards.

Glaring error here - Megaera was one of the Fates - NOT one of the Gorgons - they meant Medusa.
