    Must-see fare for fans of the bosomy camp horror queen.

    Peterson and her longtime writing partner, John Paragon, as well as director Sam Irvin, clearly worship the Poe-inspired Roger Corman/Vincent Price films of the 1960s, so of course there’s a pit and a pendulum in that dungeon, but who’d have expected it to be so beautifully designed?
  3. It's so cheerfully cheesy, you can't help but be amused.

    She's like Bob Hope with fake breasts and a wig. Now, that's scary.
