    I like to watch old black and white movies and I don't even know why. My mom told me I shouldn't remember a lot of things because I was too young. I do and I love it. I remember when I had a crib and I'm 59 yrs of age. It's a lot and I can't write everything right now but I am writing my book. Hope people enjoy it when I'm finish with it.

    Fred Katz REALLY outdid himself scoring this film.
    📽️🎥 it's a campy, contempo/mid-century masterpiece, specifically because of the Filmgroup's thematic consistency in the music backdrops for the 5 year or so span of monster mill releases. This was a wise, and probably economical decision in feasibility, and substance identity coverage, simultaneously. The ultimate CAMP experience for the Bohemian, hip, film buffs of the era, with just the right touch of Beatnikish charm. For some reason, a rainy, snowy night watching Corman's 'Little Shop of Horrors, at the age of 5 or 6 on my Grandma's 1952 RCA, falling asleep, and then my dad picking me up to carry me upstairs to the huge bed already half asleep, is something I still remember. I think it was during the holidays. I also am able to recollect my mindset at the time, and compare it to the now. It was a sort of hieroglyphic moment that I could always refer back to, with affection for acquiring a taste for the artsy, long before my mind had a definition for what was going on in there. The Katz music overdubs will forever evoke a sixth sense for the ribald, and the surreal aspects pf Jazz music and films from a special time. That kernel for music also led me to understand the blooms and indispensable importance of music in film or stage productions.

      Oh...But, so many "modern' filmmakers DO owe their chops to this man! Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdonaviche, Demme, Ron Howard, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, and Jack Nicholson. Actors weren't just sticks of furniture in his films. They learned EVERYTHING. Camera work, lighting, production and direction. His method of operation was the most amount or production in the least amount of time allowed everyone involved to learn everything involved. He did other genres beside B-horror movies, (think "Wild Ones"); But, seems to only be remembered for these campy but fun "horror" films. I saw most of these as a kid at drive-in theaters - shows my age! My favorites are the ORIGINAL "Little Shop of Horrors" with Jack Nicholson and "The Man with the X-Ray Eyes". That last one was fun until Ray Milland tore out his own eyes at the end. That creeped me out!
      Anyway, that's my two cents about Corman. But, I think I would also add Harryhousen to the list "masters" in filmmaking before CGI became the mainstream of everything.

    The Wasp Woman is the bees' knees, and she's up to her proboscis in jelly. I started buzzing the moment this movie took off. The old guy was crushed by his dismissal, at the hands of a hivemind martinet. The will-be Wasp Woman is everything a horror movie needs. She's so vain! This movie is a stinging rebuke to all who watch it. All MUST watch it, queen's orders!!

LOL! How I used to love sneaking all those films on a Saturday night, when my twin and I were 13 years old, and our parents were still en route home to our house in the suburbs, after maybe seeing a Broadway show! We had just enough time to race off to bed when their headlights turned into the drive-way!! (Then, years later, Mom revealed that we had fooled no one, since the light in the middle of the screen stayed on for a couple of minutes after the set was shut off! LOL! Remember THAT?!) So, all those times---they knew! Lynn in NYC (who still loves these films!!)

What's more, companies were loyal to their workers and that loyalty was returned. The concern shown by the employees in this movie wasn't at all surprising in those days - God I miss those Eisenhower years I grew up in!

    An excellent late night B movie, and it has that touch of quality that means it is clearly not a TV movie but a real cinema movie from the great age of the double bill. Low budget yes, but made with care and a real love of pulp fiction. Susan Cabot deserved a better career in the movies. I would add that the ;picture does give a real whiff of the l950s.
