Tribute to Aunt Martha from Sleepaway Camp

Whorticulture.com Presents: Our Tribute to Aunt Martha from 1983's Sleepaway Camp, Played by Desiree Gould

You know, there's quite a bit to love about Sleepaway Camp (1983).  The shocking and unforgettable ending, the over-the-top kills, the often-forced and unintentionally-hilarious dialogue.

And then there's Aunt Martha.

Ohhh god, Aunt Martha.  Desiree Gould steals the show with her bizarre yet captivating take on a character obviously gone insane.  Is she over-acting?  I don't think so.  Aunt Martha has obviously gone off the deep end (if you've seen the movie, you know exactly how much).  Desiree Gould pushes the character to the brink of ridiculous, but stays just inside the line of "bitch is crazy."

I think she's one of the best characters in horror.  But judge for yourself:

Trivia:  Desiree Gould and Felissa Rose were reunited in 2006 with the film Under Surveillance.
