Mesa of Lost Women

Mesa of Lost Women is one of those "atomic horror" B-Movies from the 1950s--from 1953, to be exact. It starred Tandra Quinn as the Tarantula Girl (although she's known as Tarantula Girl, she never shows any signs of being an actual tarantula).

Right in the middle of the film, the Tarantula Girl gives this sultry dance in a local dive bar. She's barefoot throughout.

The film was shot in black and white, and was directed by Herbert Tevos and Ron Ormond.

Tarantula girl gets shot for her troubles, but thanks to her special powers, she comes back from the dead to dance again.

"You! Yes, you! I'm pointing at you, right there!"

This scene was the saving grace for me with Mesa of Lost Women, which is an ineptly made, disjointed film. It's available on Paramount+ right now, if you wish to witness the "horror" for yourself.
