The Wasp Woman (1959)

In the heart of the bustling beauty industry, Janice Starlin, the illustrious owner of a renowned cosmetics firm, grapples with her own fading allure. Her once radiant visage, which had been the 'face' of her successful cosmetic line, has been touched by the relentless march of time. The loss of her youthful charm not only sends ripples through her personal life but also threatens her once-thriving empire, as sales nosedive when she withdraws from the limelight. Seizing upon Janice's predicament, Eric Zinthrop, a self-proclaimed scientist, emerges from the shadows. He promises a miraculous solution - a serum derived from the enzymes of wasps, designed to rejuvenate aging skin and restore its youthful vitality, a tantalizing proposition akin to a time machine. Without a second thought, Janice leaps at the opportunity and becomes the pioneering human subject for the Zinthrop injections. As Janice's beauty revives, those closest to her—her faithful secretary Mary Dennison and astute advertising executive, Bill Lane—notice a dramatic shift in her personality. The once formidable businesswoman now exhibits an increasingly volatile demeanor, her transformation far from being limited to mere physical rejuvenation. In a cruel twist of fate, Zinthrop falls victim to a car accident, leaving him incapacitated and unable to concoct more of his age-defying serum. Bereft of her enzyme injections, Janice undergoes a horrifying metamorphosis, becoming a wasp-like woman, her temper as fiery as a yellow-jacket hornet's sting. As her transformation spirals out of control, unfortunate souls crossing her path aren't spared her venomous wrath, a situation that spells disaster for both her personal life and her waning business. The Wasp Woman spins a chilling tale of beauty obsession, scientific ambition, and the monstrous consequences of playing with the delicate balance of nature.
