October Horror Movie Challenge - Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde

  

Plot
While attempting to cure all disease Dr. Jekyll discovers the secret "elixir of youth" lies in human female hormones. Initially turning to reputable and then eventually disreputable sources for bodies, the doctor goes down a dark path. The elixir he creates turns him into the beautiful and evil, Hyde. 

Review
If you like 70's Hammer Horror, I think you'll dig this one. Martine Beswick is gorgeous and sinister as the titular Sister Hyde. This combines some historical things in a nice way. I know they were active and dead well before the time of Jekyll/Hyde, but I really liked the use of Burke and Hare in the story. Having Jack the Ripper be Jekyll is also a nice change. The science and history involved in this one is shite, but it's a damn entertaining movie. 

In Your Game

This movie is great inspiration for Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. I think Bendjinn stats for Drujika, Countess of Blood are perfect low level seductress stats for Sister Hyde. The stats he made are found below, but do yourself a favor and check out his page.
