Here is the story of the snake queen, worshiped by many people and willing to grant wishes to dedicated members of her flock. However, those riches are bestowed with severe repercussions. Ultimately, she is a fickle governess. She often requires a blood sacrifice [of a loved one] in exchange for compliance. It is not unusual for the Snake Queen to demand the slaughter of a wife and children in the name of wealth. In one such instance, she requires for a man to kill his daughter. But this is too much for him and he asks for another way to satisfy her. The Queen finally agrees to the sacrifice of his son-in-law. However, things become surrealistically complicated when she - in disguise - falls in love with the young man, causing an unusual love triangle.

The success of this film resulted in a sequel four years later called HUNGRY SNAKE WOMAN. Both films star Suzzanna as the Snake Queen. Suzzanna (born Suzanna Martha Frederika van Osch) initially came to Indonesia from the West Indies. Her exotic looks landed roles in numerous fantasy and horror films before she became that country's leading B-Queen. She is probably best known for the starring role in QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC. Suzzanna died on her birthday [from diabetes] in October 2008 at age 66.
