Here is me about to be carried by my Golem. There is an art to how a lady drapes herself when in the arms of a monstrous horror.

Please share your photos of ladies in distress, being carried by monsters!

Edited to say they can be illustrations too!

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?

In response to myself, the still in question is from Roller Blade Warriors: Taken by Force (1989). I had seen Legend of the Roller Blade Seven many years ago, but the black and white photography and the bangs on the girl made it initially look like something from the early 70s to me. Had me in a bit of a momentary frenzy, as I was hoping this was some lost creature from the golden age that somehow slipped through the cracks! A bit sad it's from rather silly fare, but glad at least to have an identification. Kindly solved within the hour from a good folk from Reddit, where I had asked after searching for far too long. I usually don't merry about in those regions, but at times I'm certainly glad for the wealth of knowledge that passes through!

If we're allowed to include "non-fiction", Judith Frankle's heroic "I had sex with the Abominable Snowman" confessional, Nights With Sasquatch (Berkley Medallion,1977) cannot be overlooked. [No, I don't have a copy; cover scanned from Paperback Fanatic #35].

John Burke - The Second Hammer Horror Film Omnibus, Pan, 1967)

That's not how to be carried by a horror. She must try harder! Standards seem to have declined by the late '80s.
