Any excuse to plug one of Ken Russell's greatest films, The Lair of the White Worm (1988), based on a novel by Bram Stoker. It features Amanda Donahoe as the serpent lady in question, with a taste for seducing boy scouts in her bath. Spoofed-up folk horror with all our Ken's bells and whistles.

@riggbeck @medieval_illuminations I saw this one in the theater. And had DVD for many years. Very solid movie.
