Vampirella — Part II
The second installment about the mesmeric character Vampirella
Vampirella — Part I
A true survivor: created in 1969 as merely the host of a Warren Publishing B&W horror magazine, Vampirella evolved past her counterparts Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie into becoming a real character in her own right, one being published to this day.

“The Hypnotic Eye” (1960) Part I
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053931/]
Beautiful women disfigure themselves under the hypnotic control of a suave stage hypnotist and his sinister assistant. Part I (here) consists of a description of and the history of the movie: subsequent parts will include selections of the promotional material and press images (from my extensive collection) generated to promote the movie.
“Eerie Cuties”
One of the webcomics I follow regularly is named “Eerie Cuties”. It doesn’t have anything to do with hypnosis or anything similar, but it is a very fun read with a number of engaging and amusing characters and situations and I highly recommend it.

“The Hypnotic Eye” — It Has Arrived!
[amtap amazon:asin=B0047DKLBO]
For those of you not familiar with this little curiosity of a movie, “The Hypnotic Eye” is a B&W horror movie from 1960 and featured a suave hypnotist whose female subjects all disfigured themselves.

When I first was aware of the availability of the DVD through Amazon, I was skeptical about the quality, but it also was the only way to get a legitimate copy, so about two weeks ago I ordered a copy as a Christmas present for myself.
Well, today, it arrived, and here’s my reaction to it.
