Phantasm II

Happy October! Paula Irvine stars in Phantasm II as the female lead, who is first seen in this eerie moment when the guys come across her in a basement.

Although her bonds are never seen, thanks to the black cloak that she wears, it's heavily implied that she's tied down.

The nice, big criss-crossed gag that she has covering her mouth is also another good indication of her bondage. This version of her doesn't survive.

Later, when her character formally joins the boys in their adventure, Irvine gets captured by the Tall Man ("BOY!").

After her capture, Irvine is wheeled through the villain's lair while strapped down to a gurney, and sporting another very nice gag.

Although she's been stripped of her coat, she's still fully dressed here.

But it's one of the better bondage scenes for me, despite her not being barefoot. It's very stylishly done, with the danger coming from the Tall Man's minion in the background preparing to burn her alive in the crematorium (eek!).

She takes a quick moment--when he's not looking--to check out her situation, which she ultimately survives. Phantasm II is my favorite of the series because of these scenes. And, by the way, welcome to another Halloween season, as we begin another horror-themed journey to my favorite holiday.
