Rating: - GREAT FUN!!
Back in the 1970s, when I was growing up, every Sunday afternoon our local TV station would broadcast these black and white horror classics under the program's name "Horror Theater".

Rating: - Ankers-Russell-: Wow!
Scream Queen Evelyn Ankers was rarely given anything juicy in her stream of B-classics, mostly in horror. But as Illona, the treacherous villain, she's able to snap and snarl with the best of them.

Rating: - Evelyn Ankers - what a diva!
Weird Woman is a camp classic that deserves a cult following. Ankers, normally cast as a good girl, here plays a conniving stalker. Elizabth Russell also hams it up as a bitter academic wife, who ultimately turns on Ankers. Anne Gwynne, as the lily white voodoo girl from the jungle, is laughably vacant as usual. A LOT OF FUN!
