This has intrigued me since I first saw this movie in 1983 when I was 17 - why does Penelope's hair go from light red, almost blonde, to dark auburn nearly brunette by the end of the film? I suppose something in the serum might have caused the hair colour change, but I figure it's symbolic, the old light is good dark is evil thing.
I thought it was reminiscent of her mother.
shareMight have todo with the lighting where the shooting maybe :-) i did love the wild locks of reds though.
shareBecause the evil blood cells turned her hair dark. Nah, I'm just kidding. We all noticed it, I guess. I think they were just emphasizing that she went from a goody two shoes and instead turned into a wild tramp, so the director wanted to show her dark side 100%
shareI think the answer is simpler than that!
She began experimenting with her mother´s wigs, and so she kept on wearing those (at least is what I was thinking the whole time).
Although the idea of the bad cells changing the colour of her hair is good also!
I agree, it was to show she was starting to become insane, like her mother.
