At the very end of this movie, Jack Nicholson's character, Andre, carried Helene to under a tree after saving her from the flooding underground crypt. After a few words to each other and he gave her a big kiss, she melts!
What was that stuff all over her (when she's supposed to be decaying)? I've read it's caramel sauce or pork and beans sauce....but not sure....so can anyone tell me? :)
It looked like honey or syrup so the carmel and pork and bean sauces seem reasonable, but I really have no idea.
shareIt's Chef Boyardee spaghetti sauce... at least that is exactly what it looks like, I don't think they had that back in '63.

Not that you probably care but I looked up the history of Chef Boyardee. He opened his first small factory in 1928 and then went national in 1938 so it was most certainly around in 1963!
shareAh, very interesting. Then it probably was.

I thought it was her flesh melting off of her bones.
shareMurdering an actress and recording a timelapse of her flesh dissolving for a visual effect seems like too much work for a Corman picture, as well as an ethical conundrum in every respect.

I don't know but it was pretty disgusting, and I have autopsied hundreds of dead bodies (job not hobby) and so I have a pretty strong stomach that was gnarly!
