The Wasp Woman is a 1959 American black-and-white Sci-Fi Horror film produced and directed by Roger Corman, starring Susan Cabot.Janice Starlin (Cabot), the founder and owner of a large cosmetics company, is disturbed when her firm's sales begin to drop, which the board of executives blames on the fact becoming apparent to her customer base that she is aging. She is approached by Dr. Zinthrop, who was fired from his job at a honey farm for experimenting with wasps: Zinthrop has been able to extract enzymes from the royal jelly of the queen wasp that can reverse the aging process. Janice agrees to fund further research, at great cost, provided she can serve as his human subject. But Zinthrop becomes aware that the experiment has some terrible side effects, and is too late to warn Janice...A remake of the film was made in 1995, starring Jennifer Rubin. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| The Wasp Woman / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: After Alec rejects her monstrous form in the remake, Janice's humanity reawakens long enough to allow herself to be destroyed by a stick of dynamite that was thrown at her, even tossing it into a crate full of more sticks just to be sure it works. | |

| The Wasp Woman / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: When she transforms into the Wasp Woman, Janice has the head and hands of a wasp but the body of a woman — which is exactly the opposite of the creature shown on the film's theatrical release poster. | |

| The Wasp Woman / int_83856158 | comment |
Worthless Yellow Rocks: Zinthrop's first boss is shown proof of the efficacy of his royal jelly formula... And fires him anyway, because he was using wasps instead of bees. This is ultimately for the best, but no one knew the side effects at this point. | |

| The Wasp Woman / int_880ce607 | comment |
Vanity Is Feminine: Justified variant #3. Janice was the face of the company. As she aged out of being a cover model, sales fell. When Dr. Zinthrop's formula seems to work and she retakes her former position, sales rise again. | |
