(1972) ***
“I don’t have whores or painted women in my house.”
Meet Aunt Martha, owner of the sketchy King Edward Hotel in downtown L.A. Martha is a religious weirdo that loves funerals because the soul can now be separated from its disgusting, sinful flesh. Of particular concern to Aunt Martha is woman abandoning their innocence to become lecherous sluts, a road that she believes all women will eventually travel. So what did Aunt Martha do to prevent this from happening to her own daughter? Well, she turned her into a boy, of course. And so what does your little girl you turned into a boy grow up to be?
A man that sleeps with water filled blowup dolls, and gets off by injecting his own blood into their vaginas with a needle, of course.
Meet Cheryl, a runaway from Ohio that ends up rooming at her aunt’s hotel after her friend tosses her out of their apartment for peeping on her and her boyfriend having sex. This is where the story actually starts, and the rest is filled with bizarre people, behaviors (like mentioned above), and a splash of murder at the seedy King Edward Hotel.
Not a fantastic film, but definitely good campy fun. It got an extra ½ star for the peculiar doll/needle/blood scene, definitely one of the strangest scenes I’ve witnessed in a film.

You're uncovering some real bizarre treasures this year. Love the pictures, the three of the weirdo with the blow up doll especially. Fantastic review.
“And so what does your little girl you turned into a boy grow up to be?

No matter how many times I look at those middle three photos I still can’t comprehend what I’m seeing. Between you and Catfreeek I’m not sure who is out-weirding me more. You’re really unearthing some crazy stuff this year, Whirly, and this one’s not even French! I’m still rattled by those damn photos.
Those photos are completely freaky! The face on the last one is especially weird.
You are digging up some crazy shit!
Whirly, I never knew how much of a perv you are.
Is it me or does he look like the transvestite from Rocky Horror Picture Show?
He really does, except this tranny really IS a woman on the inside.
The blood in the transparent doll is weird, but it's the distressed photo on the face that really stranges me out. Brrr.
