LEECH THERAPY

RIP to the astoundingly beautiful Coleen Gray, best known for noirs like Kubrick’s The Killing and for the western Red River, passed on this week at 92.

In her honor…

Monster-of-the-Week: …the nod this week goes to the title character in 1960’s The Leech Woman…

…played by Gray, as a vain middle-aged American lady who learns a native African secret for restoring her youthful beauty by leeching away the pineal hormones of men.
