Fright Club screening, The Wasp Woman (1959)
A Fright Club screening showed Roger Corman's 1959 The Wasp Woman in a newly colorized print, and several attendees said they were watching the film for the first time. The movie follows cosmetics-company head Janice Starlin as she experiments on herself with a youth formula made from royal jelly extracted from wasps, a treatment that triggers monstrous transformation and violent side effects. Multiple viewers criticized the colorization as a poor restoration compared with the original black-and-white print and said they would have preferred an unaltered transfer. The screening also renewed interest in lead actress Susan Cabot; Cabot was killed by her son in the 1980s and her life is now the subject of a recent documentary series.
This is pretty good so far, but the lousy colorizing job really detracts from the viewing experience. #FrightClub #TheWaspWoman
Joe_Ted_Jerome9Yeah, now I wish I'd gone to Tubi and traded more commercials for the B&W version. #FrightClub #TheWaspWoman
Shawn Griffiths7Yeah, it is pretty bad. I would prefer just to watch the original black and white. #FrightClub
millerfilm5That's on Prime? I'm on Tubi. Those of us of a "certain age" remember the horror of Ted Turner wanting to colorize everything. Literally EVERYTHING. #FrightClub #TheWaspWoman
