Sex & Nudity

  • When Adele Lamont (as Doris Powell) poses for the photographers, she is wearing a Teo piece bikini and her belly and legs are clearly seen.
  • A man visits strip clubs and other adult venues. Dancers wear skimpy outfits. Two dancers wrestle on the floor with each other in the dressing room.
  • None. Well, there are a couple of hootchie-cootchie dancers, a figure model in a two-piece swimming suit, and a bathing beauty contest.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman is decapitated in a car wreck. Her head is bundled up and stolen away. It then becomes a major character sitting in a dish of dark fluid with tubes going in and out of it.
  • Another woman is shown to be horribly scarred on one side of her face.
  • A woman is drugged to facilitate murdering her.
  • A monster tears a man's arm off. He bleeds to death while flailing around and smearing blood all over the walls.
  • A grotesque monster bites a chunk out of a man's neck, and he bleeds to death.
  • Of course, the film is in black and white. So it's not as gruesome as it sounds. There's no blood squirting out of the wounds or anything like that.

Profanity

  • 1 use of "tramp" and 1 use of "shit".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A principal character smokes cigarettes throughout the film. There are a few instances of people drinking liquor--even calling attention to it.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There are a series of sequences in which a man tries to pick up different women so that he can cut their heads off. People who are scared by cheap 50s horror movies will be particularly scared by this one.
