. . . Voodoo Woman is a crazy film. Nipkow hates it -- he does NOT like that lady from Pittsburgh -- played by Marla English -- at all; but courtesy of Tom Conway, she turns in to this lovely lass . . .
I always get Voodoo Woman and The She-Creature mixed up. Maybe because both monsters were portrayed by Marla English. Also because the monster costumes were almost the same (both were designed by Paul Blaisdell). Voodoo Woman, however, was more modest than was The She-Creature, who displayed full-frontal in her pic -- the brazen hussy!

I didn't get them confused, because my father took me to see The She Creature when I was 5, and I think of it more in the creatures from the sea genre. It was on a double bill at the RKO Chester in the Bronx, with It Conquered the World. I first saw Voodoo Woman on television. For a while, I confused Voodoo Woman with Captive Wild Woman and Jungle Woman, because of the titles.
Another lady monster film is She Devil (1957), which is about two doctors who live together (?!!) creating a serum that can cure TB, but it turns their lady patient (Mari Blanchard) into a monster who can change her hair colour at will. Interesting that the pineal gland plays a part in the film, as it does in The Leech Woman, which I used to confuse with The Wasp Woman, again because of the title.

There is also The Astounding She-Monster who, compared to Voodoo Woman and The She-Creature, was an out-of-this-world hottie. IMO, model-actress ShirleyKirkpatrick (who portrayed The Astounding One) rivalled She Devil Mari Blanchard in the Babe-a-licious Dept.

How about the new Twin Peaks where each episode would end with a millennial indie band I had never heard of? I liked the one that goes wild Wild West/ wild Wild West.
