The death head moth becomes her. That's what Janet Leigh becomes bugged about in its first appearance onscreen prior to "Silence of the Lambs". She's unhappily married to Gene Nelson who shows off his "follies" by spending time with framing all sorts of hideous insects, and she's had just about enough, to the point where she wants to begin an affair with their friend, Rory Calhoun. Trying to spice up their marriage at Calhoun's quest, she gets some sort of bug-filled concoction from an ocean front shop owner which promptly kills Nelson and creates visions for Lee seeing the creepy looking flying critter. Visions of the hippie like shop owner has her becoming a hag like witch, and now Leigh's more bugged out than ever.
Like the roach hating man from "Creepshow", Leigh tries to smite every creepy crawly she sees, and she's becoming truly obsessive with every sound she hears, every shadow she imagines. Glamorous in a 70's Lana Turner way, Leigh isn't an evil woman, just more neurotic than calculating, but her obsession is obviously going to be her doom. It's the same year she fought giant rabbits in "The Night of the Lepus", so it's her "Psycho" past catching up with her. This is truly an eew inspiring episode, and one you may not want to revisit, but it's fun for one little "Raid". If you're like me, you'll be looking around your TV area for bugs and hopefully don't find any.
