Tonight's presentation at the Horse Hospital from the Erotic Film Society is a rare find, a film thought lost which is to get a DVD/Blu-ray release soon. The Erotic Film Society founder JJ Marsh will introduce the movie.
Here is Network's introduction:
A rare specimen from the more deranged end of the Grindhouse spectrum, Miss Leslie's Dolls is a memorably demented tale of possession and transvestitism from director Joseph G. Prieto (who, if rumour is to be believed, under the name Joseph P. Mawra directed the outrageous 1965 lesbian sexploitation "documentary" Chained Girls). Believed lost for decades, it has been remastered in High Definition from original film elements especially for this release.
Stranded in the backwoods during a thunderstorm, a beautiful teacher and her three promiscuous students take refuge at a lonely house owned by the middle-aged Miss Leslie. Miss Leslie, however, is less a mild-mannered spinster and more an axe-wielding, homicidal cross-dresser intent on transferring his spirit into the nubile body of any girl foolish enough to come visiting...

All will be revealed on the night...
