(1961, Anamorphic Widescreen) John McCarthy, Susan Travers, Elsie Harker, Geoffrey Denton. A crazed English scientist injects his wife with a cobra venom formula to cure her mental illness. Sadly, it has a horrible effect on the woman’s unborn child, who’s born with cold blood. Thinking (rightly so) that the baby is cursed, an old hag convinces the villagers to storm the scientist’s home, break into his lab, and set fire to everything. The scientist and his wife die but the baby survives. Years later a beautiful young woman wanders the countryside, occasionally turning into a cobra. When bodies pile up, Scotland Yard is called in. Harker is outstanding as the magic practicing old hag. 35mm.
