Look at those eyes, girls! This is the one where a group of soldiers on leave in the Far East (two of whom are Richard Long and David Jansen, my first crush) witness a snake worship ceremony, where, since this is a cheapie, the natives are played by white actors.
Faith Domergue, in all her Fifties glamour, follows them to the USA as Lisa Moya (even the surname has a snake ring to it) and one by one hunts them down and kills them. Do not look into those eyes, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to wonder if this film inspired Julie Taymor. The snake is never seen, but is enacted by a shadow puppet, which is both creepy and campy.
And that cat! It knows a bad one when seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't miss this camp classic, girls! We will all be watching. It could be the most fun of your week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you, tonight at eight, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do love Faith and her fifties-era glamour!!!
Victoria,
Faith looked her best. You will have a chance to see her the following Saturday, when Svengoolie shows "It Came From Beneath The Sea."
