I’m trying to find the title of this horror movie. I saw it on TV in early 90’s (possibly late 80’s). It was in color. I don’t remember the original language. I think the cast was mostly white, so it’s probably US or European.
The scene I remember best is that a woman’s fingers started twitching uncontrollably and kind of stuck together and started resembling a centipede’s legs.
Two other scenes I’m 90% sure are from the same movie are: (1) the same woman is in a hospital giving birth, but instead of a baby, it’s a large centipede. Then she wakes up and realizes it was just a dream; and (2) at the end of the movie I think she ended up turning into a giant centipede.
I remember the word “scolopendra” (a type of centipede) used in the movie, although it might have been a translation artifact.
I know about “The human centipede” and that’s not it. The movie I’m looking for is much older; it was a single human turning into a single centipede; and the centipedes in the movie were real-looking (i.e. not stitched out of multiple humans).
Any help would be appreciated.
That reminds me a little of “The Wasp Woman” but it’s not a close match. She turns into a wasp; I think her hands start to go first. It’s a little later than the dates you gave, too. I guess it’s just something to eliminate.

It’s not what I remember, but thank you for suggesting it.
Could be Night Angel: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0100247/
That’s not it either, but thank you.
Sounds like the Geena Davis birth scene at the end of The Fly (1986)
Thank you. I did see The Fly, so it’s entirely possible I misremembered which movie the scene was from.
Try Silent Night, Deadly Might IV: Initiation. Not an exact fit, but some of the imagery is strikingly similar to what you remember, i.e. I’m getting a strong suggestion of Screaming Mad George FX from what you describe.
Night, not Might.
Thank you. It’ll take me a few days to get this movie in decent enough quality to check out.
GG nailed it, that’s gotta be it, I was gonna say the same thing. The hands scene is near the end her fingers do exactly what you described as the scene goes on she starts transforming.
