Anyone catch the image in which diesel fuel costs $123/gallon? Whoa.
Screen Shot Quiz #35
I will give you the year for this one (1960) because I don’t think anyone will get this anyways. I watched it when I was a kid and it freaked the hell out of me back then. Oh and no I was not a kid back in 1960. I saw this late one night on TV.
Heh. The Leech Woman. I think I have the MST3K version of this film.

This would make a good Double Bill with either THE HUNGER or DUMPLINGS as the perils of the Fountain of Youth from exotic locales.

Damn MST3K. If it weren’t for that then you wouldn’t have got this one.
I actually just picked this up a little while ago and plan to revisit it when I get a chance. I’m guessing it won’t scare the shit out of me this time.

Oh and here is the synopsis from Wikipedia:
A mysterious old woman approaches Dr. Paul Talbot (Phillip Terry) and promises to reveal to him the secret of eternal youth. Following her to Africa, he and his wife June Talbot (Coleen Gray) witness the secret ceremony that utilizes orchid pollen and a man’s pineal gland secretions. June returns to the United States alone and proceeds to keep herself young by killing men for their pineal secretions. Eventually the cops come to investigate the murders and June kills herself by leaping from a window.
