About This Film

Pretty singer/actress Marie Coleby has a charmed,affluent life in Sydney. She lives alone in a beach-side mansion with her dog and doting neighbour, old Billy Shepherd helps her out from time to time. The bearded Gordon Mason is her gardener.

Marie’s older sister Jenny Nolan is looking for her…

“Lady Stay Dead” is a sleazy psycho slasher comparable to “Maniac”, “Don’t Go in the House”, “Never Pick Up a Stranger” or “American Nightmatre”. There is plenty of sleaze and full-frontal nudity as well as some brutal violence. Chard Hayward is perfect as a appropriately perverted and crazed murderer.
