Leech Woman have taken this approach to heart on this, their second album to date.
Leech Woman can't quite take it all in, result being that their debut isn't just a trip into hell, it's also one hell of a trip.
Leech Woman are pretty noisy to start with, but this collection of remixes brings their signature mix of heavy guitars and metallic percussion to new levels of sonic punishment.

 (section 1) THE LEECH WOMAN’s REVENGE by Vivian Sobchack
Here, however, I want to talk about another sort of "scary woman" in the horror film--one whose scariness, while related to her sexuality, has less to do with power than with powerlessness, and whose scariness to men has less to do with sexual desire and castration anxiety than with abjection and death.
Here I want to talk about the middle-aged woman who is both scared and scary--the woman who is neither lover nor mother, the woman who becomes excessive by virtue of her being regarded as excess.
She is the Leech Woman, the Wasp Woman, the 50 Foot Woman.

 WJLA - Doctors Remove Leech From Woman's Nose   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Doctors have removed a leech from the nose of a 55-year-old Hong Kong woman after she swam and washed her face in a stream, a medical journal reported.
The woman went to her doctor complaining of nose bleeds and an occasional sensation that something was blocking her left nostril, the Hong Kong Medical Journal said in its April issue.
Part of the slimy leech was in a passage of her nasal cavity and a larger segment was in her sinus cavity, the article said.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Leech Woman: Uncertainty Device #26573
Leech Woman is the band that Alec Empire could have started if he'd spent a little more time on the music and corrected his offensive mixing techniques (just because he did it on purpose, doesn't make it less irritating).
However, the disc was somehow mastered in-between two worlds: it reflects the impending doom of Leech Woman's sonic assault, but ensures that you can still hear all elements of the holocaust on plastic -- all the timbres of percussion and all the colors of the distorted rainbow.
Wasp Factory claims that Leech Woman is "the first UK band since Throbbing Gristle coined the term 'industrial' to fully re-embody the aesthetic," and you should believe it.

 wcco.com - Leech Lake Woman Makes Bid For MN Senate
Now Folstrom, a Democrat and a Leech Lake Ojibwe, is doing just that with a bid for the state Senate that would make her the first American Indian woman elected to the Minnesota Legislature.
A recent wave of violence on the Leech Lake reservation claimed two of Folstrom's relatives -- an uncle was stabbed to death, and a cousin was killed by a drunken driver.
She says the losses helped her decide to run for Senate, to try to help the area with more resources to fight crime, especially gangs and drugs, and to develop the local economy.

There is the Leech Woman of the boomer generation, the indefatigably exhibitionistic Joyce Maynard, who has asked Sotheby's to auction 14 romantic letters that J. Salinger wrote to her in 1972 and '73.
Then there is the Gen-X Leech Woman, the indefatigably exhibitionistic Monica Lewinsky, who insists, all her alleged humiliation notwithstanding, on not going away.
It is an essential characteristic of the Leech Woman to believe that she is independent, that she has a self beyond the self that preys.

 Episode 802- The Leech Woman
This is a tender story of a man who despises his wife because she is perhaps slightly older than he'd like her to be; and the woman who downs hooch like Dylan Thomas because her husband despises her so much.
It is also the story of an ancient woman from an unnamed African country who has found the fountain of youth coursing through the pineal gland of the male of the species.
Further it is the story of the weenie lawyer with whom our heroine falls in love, and his weenie fiancée whose only redeeming quality is that she packs a Colt Panther.

 Leech Woman...Stay Away From Me   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Leech Woman...Stay Away From Me Fifties horror films were never regarded as "women's pictures" and George Cukor was never assigned a fright flick back then.
I mean, men are sacrificed and murdered to give one woman a shot at regaining her beauty, there's a tribe where women rule the roost and use their men as drones, and a woman-to-woman struggle without a cheesy catfight!
At any rate, The Leech Woman is a fun little fright flick with some decent makeup effects, a potboiler plot, and the eye candy of Coleen Gray and Gloria Talbott.

 The Leech Woman
Restarting her film career in 1953, Talbott's first screen role of consequence was as the daughter of Leo G. Carroll and Joan Bennett in the delightful "comedy of murders" We're No Angels (1955).
She truly came into her own as the nervous but self-reliant heroine of such B horror gems as The Cyclops (1957), The Daughter of Dr. Jekyll (1957), I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1957) and The Leech Woman (1960).
On a less fearsome note, she was seen in the recurring role of Abbie Crandall on the 1950s TV western Wyatt Earp.

 (section 4) THE LEECH WOMAN’s REVENGE by Vivian Sobchack
Furthermore, in a sexist as well as ageist technoculture, the visibly aging body of a woman has been and still is especially terrifying--not only to the woman who experiences self-revulsion and anger, invisibility and abandonment, but also to the men who find her presence so unbearable they must--quite literally--"disavow" her and divorce her.
While Kristeva makes reference to pregnancy and cancer as possible forms of inner abjection, her description also holds for the bodily changes in the 50 Foot Woman, the Wasp Woman and the Leech Woman.
At the post office this week, I--a middle-aged woman in good clothes and great shape (but for want of a leg)--stood in line in front of an old woman in mismatched clothes who had padded toward me on flat feet.

 Woman Gets Leech Stuck Up Her Nose - Lissa Explains it All: Web Design Forums
Unaware she was playing host to the creature, the 55-year-old woman only consulted a doctor when her nose started bleeding intermittently about two weeks later.
The first doctor the woman saw could not find anything wrong and it was only when she visited a second doctor that he saw the five-centimeter (two-inch) leech peeking out of her left nostril.
"Direct removal of a live leech might be difficult because of its powerful attachment to the mucosa and its slimy and mobile body," the journal said.

 Scifilm -- Musings, THE LEECH WOMAN (1960)
An aging woman discovers a potion that restores her youth; unfortunately it requres the fluid from a pineal gland of a man.
The trouble is, if it's going to be unpleasant, it either needs to be insightful enough to give us the feeling that we're seeing something very real and relevant to us as human beings (this one doesn't), or it needs to make some sort of observation that makes enduring the movie worthwhile.
The main observation that this movie makes (that a woman's entire worth is centered around her being young, beautiful and loved by men, a belief shared by every character in the movie) is not only inaccurate, it is positively damaging to those who believe it.

In this story, an old decrepit-looking woman named Malla visits a doctor named Dr. Paul Talbot and, for some reason, begins to brag about her native African village having the cure for old age.
She shows Dr. Talbot a powder that has kept her alive for over 150 years and claims that, when mixed with a secret ingredient, it brings back youth to a woman.
Once Dr. Talbot sees the formula work, he wants his wife to also take of the youth formula, as a guinea pig he can take back as own proof that the Fountain of Youth exists.

The message Leech woman gives is that the beauty of youth lies in the fact that it has to end and end fairly quickly.
A doctor (Grant Williams) is given a powder for retarding the aging process for one fifty year old African woman named Marla.
In his search for the magic powder for the resurrection of youth he follows the woman to the darkest jungles of Africa along with his persecuted wife who was taken along as an experimental guinea pig.

 EOL Audio - Ultraviolence, Leech Woman, Knifeladder and G.N.A.
I might not have been overly impressed by the Ultraviolence show at Slimelight last December, but with two support acts of at least vauge interest, tonights 'industrial special' line-up at the Garage was still impressive enough to drag me out of my North London home and down to Highbury for an evening of mechanised eardrum-bashing.
I hadn't seen Leech Woman for years, whilst Knifeladder had proved to be elusive to date, having appeared on various billings over the past five years, only for either them to pull out or me to get distracted by something else.
The return of Knifeladder and Leech Woman to a Flag billing helped the disguise the 'oh, them AGAIN' feeling that's starting to arise everytime Frankie's Army unleash their latest flier.

There's a key scene in the film where Estelle Hemsley, as an old African woman about to be given the gift a youth, states how a man growing old gains wisdom and respect while for an aging woman there is nothing.
But the cast is earnest, particularly Hemsley, expert as the native old woman, Kim Hamilton as her younger counterpart, Terry as the nasty, rotten-to-the-core husband.

The Leech Woman delivers everything a movie by the name of The Leech Woman promises to deliver -- lots of camp, lots of cheese, lots of bad acting, cornball dialogue, and theatrics.
What the film has above and beyond all that is an unconventional story and an unexpected edge.
