Something Weird Wasp Woman

Here's a surprisingly rare version of an otherwise commonly available title. Contradiction? Nope, because virtually all other copies of The Wasp Woman are from 16mm TV prints with footage added to pad out its relatively short running time. This, however, is the original theatrical version - from a crisp 35mm print - which is, essentially, ROGER CORMAN'S director's cut.

Though Janice Starling founded a multi-million dollar cosmetics firm on her youthful looks, she's now 40 years old and showing her age: "Not even Janice Starling can remain a glamour girl forever." At least not until an odd little scientist named Professor Zinthrop claiming that he can restore her youth and "stimulate the process of rejuvenation through the use of enzymes extracted from wasps." Sterling's staff think Dr. Z's a quack, but after Janice sees what the doc's formula does to guinea pigs, she tells him that "Janice Starling will be your next guinea pig!" However, in an effort to speed up the process, Janice sneaks into the doc's lab at night and injects herself with extra doses of the wasp formula. Virtually overnight she looks like she's 22 again. Unfortunately, she also periodically buzzes around the office sporting an insect head and fuzzy hands on her otherwise sexy body, killing and, apparently, eating her staff... - Something Weird

The Wasp Woman stings the nurse in the neck... paralyzing her. Then she proceeds to either suck the fluids from her body, or devour her alive!

Love that music underneath all the mayhem. It sounds like just another jazz set at the Blue Note. And yet there's Wasp Woman doing her thing ...
