But never fear, she\u2019s back now\u2026and better than ever.  The third video, pasted below, is a delicious homage sort of thing for Wes Craven\u2019s atrocious <em>Swamp Thing<\/em>, hailing from the distant and dark 1982.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I\u2019m being mean.  I loved <em>Swamp Thing<\/em>\u2026when I was eight.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re long overdue for a horror hostess of this sort who blurs the lines of reality.  The movie is more a part of her own world as opposed to Helena being just another campy horror host giving us a tired review that\u2019s been done again and again.  You can better enjoy Helena\u2019s interpretation of the movie than if you were to actually sit down and suffer a full viewing.  I don\u2019t care what you say about Adrienne Barbeau\u2019s tits and the quantity of hash you smoked right before the opening sequence, you shouldn\u2019t be able to sit through <em>Swamp Thing<\/em> and enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of crap movies, the Helena team are on a roll.  Next up is the original <em>Friday the 13th<\/em>.  Looking forward to that.  Here\u2019s hoping we see plenty more of Helena in the future.  And, yes, that may have a double meaning.<\/p>\n<p>The Helena website is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hussyofhorror.com\" target=\"_blank\">right here<\/a>, where you can join her \u201charem,\u201d get sucked into her Amazon store, and stare at pictures with your reptilian, predator eyes.  I know who you are.
