Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things

Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things is a 1971 cult film written, produced, and directed by Thomas Casey.

Set in Miami, and shot at the now closed Moberly Studios in Hollywood, Florida, the story centers around two criminals on the run: Stanley (Wayne Crawford under the name Scott Lawrence) and Paul, played by Abe Zwick, who, because of their criminal history in Baltimore, have decided to lie low in a Miami suburb to avoid prosicution. They hatch a plan that involves Paul dressing in drag to pose as Stanley's "Aunt Martha."

Stanley is shown intimately in the company of several young women. Paul is concerned that Stanley's social lifestyle will lead to them getting noticed, and subsequently busted. Stanley seems to have no real direction in his life beyond women, and drugs. He becomes nasty and violent when he hangs out with Jerry (played by Jessie Eastland), and Jerry's drugged out girlfriends." Aunt Martha has a bad habit of killing all of Stanly's girlfriends to keep them quiet.^[1]
