Mrs. Gert Hammond (Marion Eaton) is a crazy old Southern lady, who lives alone in her house mourning her dead husband, drinking, wearing really bad wigs and make-up, and proclaiming that her son “does not exist”. During a horrific storm, a group of travelers are stranded in Mrs. Hammond's Old Dark House. The travelers include Chandler (Mookie Blodgett), whose girdle factory heiress wife’s death by girdle fire at a party has made him give up on the fairer sex and move onto men; the Christian wife of a country singer who’s not what she seems; two women who were on the road when they had an accident; two men, one a hustling hitchhiker, the other a omni-sexual horndog; and Bing (George Kuchar, who co-wrote the screenplay), a circus truck driver whose crash releases many dangerous animals, including Medusa (Pamela Primate), a sex-crazed ape that Bing was tricked into sleeping with one night, the experience torturing him. Can the guests survive the night and will they overcome their tragic pasts?![]()
