Fright Club watch party screens The Wasp Woman

Fright Club hosted a watch party screening Roger Corman's 1959 film The Wasp Woman. Attendees singled out the film's prosthetic makeup, cheap studio sets, and deliberately campy kill scenes. Several viewers pinpointed the exact moment the production's low budget becomes obvious, and one compared the movie insect to the cicada killer wasp Sphecius. The night showed why Corman's bargain-era creature features still entertain viewers who enjoy kitschy special effects and film-history curiosities.

It would have been worth the trade-off if she could fly. Wishing everyone at #FrightClub a great week!

And it just...ended. You can always tell the exact moment when Roger Corman runs out of money!😂 Great time tonight watching #TheWaspWoman with #FrightClub! (I refuse to put a pun in here using "sting"or "buzz", etc. It would bee cliche)

The scariest wasp is the cicada killer. I saw one in my driveway a couple of years ago and I'm still traumatized. #FrightClub en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphecius
