EDITOR’S NOTE: She Demons was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, January 10, 1970 at 1:00 a.m.
Jerrie Turner (Irish McCalla, a model for Vargas and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle), Fred Maklin (Tod Griffin), Sammy Ching (Victor Sen Yung, Charlie Chan’s number one son) and Kris Kamana (Charles Opunui) are the only survivors of a shipwreck and wash up on a beach paradise that they soon learn is not just filled with demonic native women with spears, but also Col. Osler (Rudolph Anders), a survivor of the Third Reich who is using this little bit of heaven on Earth to experiment with lava and pain. The women have all become She Demons because Osler’s wife Mona (Leni Tana) had her face burned off by that hot volcanic magma and he hopes that he can fix it. So, you know, Eyes Without a Face, except that was made a year before that film!
Richard Cunha made Giant from the Unknown and Astor Pictures demanded that they would only release that movie if he made a second for a double feature. This is what he created and wow, I am so happy that it was filmed. A Nazi war criminal lives in a mansion tended to by island slaves, protected by an army, all surrounded by lava while he is vainly trying to fix the face of wife.
I don’t know if a better plot exists.
You can watch this on Tubi.
