Medusa-Friendly



She's a lady with snakes in her hair
They're man-made and quite fake, but have care!
When you're seized by her glance
You will freeze in your stance
I'm afraid your mistake was to stare.

David Cairns

The Gorgon (Terence Fisher; 1964) is an effective updating of the Greek myth as Hammer horror film, but the sfx are its weakest link. Prudence Hyman plays the Gorgon, though Barbara Shelley plays her human form.
