We’ve told you before that lady scientists are dangerous, and here’s another reason why, from 1972 flick Fear Chamber. This mad lady scientist and her mouth-breathing Igor substitute must — for the sake of some ill-defined experiments — feed a “pure crystallized intelligence” (i.e., a smart rock) drawn from the center of the Earth. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it only eats women in a state of terror. That’s why they hire this hot lady to strip for the steaming, burbling, apparently-made-of-styrofoam creature, as you can see in this clip.

There are so many great things about this rambling, bizarre movie (also featuring an aged Boris Karloff) that I can’t capture them all for you. But suffice to say that the whole thing basically wobbles between psychotic scenes like this one where the scientists try to scare women with skeletons, and scenes where they stare at the blinky lights on computers and say things like, “We musn’t kill anyone! We should show our research to the Institute!” Plus there’s a lot of groovy 60s furniture, a weird guy in a funny hat, a dwarf, and the Igor substitute beating each other up sometimes. If anyone can explain the actual plot to me, I’ll eat my DVD. [Fear Chamber via IMDB]
