1995 · 84 min · ★ 4.1 · Horror, Comedy

Lenny, a drug dealer, and his wife Norma are not getting along. She's tired of his unfaithfulness, but instead of just leaving him, she takes a lot of cash. She has a boyfriend, Tony, who is also the headliner at a drag queen cabaret. The two of them enlist the help of Brent, another cross-dresser: Brent will hide the loot in his dress while Tony and Norma make arrangements for the three of them to leave for Vegas. But Lenny's on their trail, with his moll who's also armed. Meanwhile, the Seattle police are baffled: murder victims are turning up, strangled by jock straps or pantyhose. Can Norma and her pals escape Lenny? And who's doing all the killing?

Pre-YouTube shot-on-video VHS analog chaos! In 1991, while Grunge Rock & Twin Peaks made the Pacific NW hip, Kelly Hughes did his best to make it trashy. Artistically ruined by an early exposure to the films of John Waters, Hughes churned out a sleazy body of work on his weekly suspense anthology Heart Attack Theatre on Seattle's public access TV. Features clips & actor interviews.

After shooting a low-budget horror film, director Kelly Hughes gets a chance to work with his childhood idol Alison Arngrim, the actress who played the scheming Nellie Oleson on TV's Little House on the Prairie. But fitting Arngrim into the finished product becomes an exercise in futility as Hughes shoots increasingly absurd (and gory) scenes with Arngrim that don't have much to do with the original plot. Featuring extensive interviews with the cast and vivid film clips, "Hush...Hush, Nellie Oleson!" is a love letter to low-budget filmmakers and the former child stars who enable them.
