Overview
In the early 20th century a village experienced a series of inexplicable murders. All the victims were young men who had been turned to stone. The perpetrator of these deaths was a being so repulsive that she transformed the onlooker using the power of her deadly stare. Much of the time the creature took the form of a beautiful and seductive woman, but during periods of the full moon she becomes a living horror, vicious and deadly. A professor has come to investigate the deaths, bringing with him his beautiful assistant whose knowledge of the Gorgon is more intimate than anyone would ever realise.

Viewing Notes
Dipping back into the Hammer Collection I wrestled with The Gorgon (1964). Not nearly as exciting or horrific as I wanted it to be considering the awesome premise of this mythological Greek creature residing in merry Old England. But not bad.
