context_page_description: The Wasp Woman is a 1959, independently made, American black-and-white science fiction-horror film, produced and directed by Roger Corman, that stars Susan Cabot, Anthony Eisley, Michael Mark, and Barboura Morris. The film was originally released by Filmgroup as a double feature with Beast from Haunted Cave. To pad out the film's running time when it was released to television two years later, a new prologue was added by director Jack Hill.
context_section_description: It was originally known as Insect Woman.
  The Wasp Woman has the head and hands of a wasp but the body of a woman—exactly the opposite of the creature shown on the film's theatrical release poster (which does not appear in the film).
  The film was made for an estimate budget of $50,000.
  In 1962, director Hill added 20 minutes to the film for its eventual television syndication release.
