EPISODE 372 - Barbara Steele: The Dame of Gothic Horror
With her mysterious smoky eyes, aquiline features and distinct diction, Barbara Steele was the reigning first woman of gothic horror cinema throughout the 1960s. From her first outing on the subject - Mario Bava's definitive Black Sunday - to her most recent headlining triumph in The Butterfly Room, Barbara Steele brings a timeless (and sinister) combination of beauty, elegance and intelligence to her portrayals of witches, vixens, demented murderesses and damsels in distress... Barry Yuen joins Tony for this retrospective of true genre legend.
