Heaving Bosoms, Darlings! Join Us Tomorrow Night For Svengoolie's Encore Presentation Of Roger Corman's 1958 "The Undead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                     Girls, this one is too much.  Despite the heaving bosoms of Allison Hayes--The Femme Fatale Of Fifties Fright Films, no less--not to mention those of the Dancing Witches, whose costumes foreshadow Donna McKechnie in "A Chorus Line,"--this is a rather slow-moving film.



                                        To think it was shot in eleven days, inside a supermarket!  I wonder if the dance sequence was done in the produce department????????????



                                           This is the one about a prostitute, well dressed, like a secretary (I guess this is how prostitutes dressed in the Fifties!) who seeks self-help through hypnosis.  She is transported back to Medieval times, with witches, heaving bosoms, Allison Hayes as Malivia, with heaving bosoms, dancers, with heaving bosoms, and an Imp who look like he failed to make the casting call for "The Wizard Of Oz," back in 1939.  Plus, a visual style that foreshadows Mario Bava's "Black Sunday!"



                                            If you have not seen it, darlings, it is a MUST!  If you've seen it before, the bosoms and visuals are worth it.



                                             Camp fun, for the gay and straight!



                                                 See you tomorrow, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Victoria,

    There was an elegance to them in
    earlier eras. Now those standards
    have dropped. And there is no mystery,
    because online it all hangs out!
