🌋 The Indonesian island of Java is almost entirely of volcanic origin, and contains numerous volcanoes, 45 of which are considered active volcanoes.

🐲No wonder the underground world was believed to be full of dragons and gods. Indonesia covers 300 different ethnic cultures in 17 000 islands (!) Such a rich culture. In Indonesia, all the mythology can be about Deities and Demons in common.

🎭Before the actress Suzzanna Martha Frederika van Osch was seen on the screen playing the demon goddess Nyi Blorong, many of these characters had only vague descriptions. These mythological characters queen & Blorong are from the Java and some smaller islands. The Queen Nyai Roro Kidul is a patron of fishermen, often described with a fish tail.🧜‍♀️

🐍According to (Wessing 2007) queen is not Blorong’s mother like in the film. Blorong was born from a snake’s egg and she can also completely turn into a snake. In the film the characters of the queen and the demon are also mixed together.

Demon Blorong uses people mainly for her palace, not for sex like in the movie, sexuality is the queens quality. Queen of the sea is like a mermaid. The best way to be captured in the kingdom of the sea is to dress in green like she does.💚

✂️Better copy was censored, but the dubbed version was bad in quality. Funny&campy but I think this was very interesting search…⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

🎧 Listen Indonesian Gamelan music and watch dancing from video below.

I would also recommend Suzzanna’s other film:

The Queen of Black Magic (1981, remake 2019) is another Indonesian horror classic with elements of witchcraft. A woman is accused of being a witch and thrown to her death over a cliff. A man rescues her, nurses her back to health, and is told that she must master black magic in order to exact vengeance.
