The sleaziest show on Earth is also a front for a group of unruly criminals, plus a short film about Linkletter’s last hours.

Multiple Maniacs

‘Lady Divine’s Cavalcade of Perversions’ is not only the sleaziest show on Earth but also a front for a group of unruly criminals whose thirst for blood and violence will not be quenched. Unseen on the big screen for decades, this early work displays a strong sense of narrative and a winning performance from a lobster. This film is not currently in commercial distribution.

USA 1970

Directed by John Waters

With Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey

+ The Diane Linkletter Story

This short improvisation of the last hours of Diane Linkletter, the supposed drug-using daughter of a US TV personality, is all the more shocking for being made the day after this real-life event happened.

This film was never in commercial distribution.
