Mars Attacks Mt. Pleasant
Mars Attacks Mt. Pleasant is a full length comedy from writer-director Roger Marsh. • The story follows husband-wife Sam and Donna Steele – after Donna makes a false report late one Saturday night to Mt. Pleasant Police claiming the Mt. Pleasant Strangler attacked her – and she lived to tell the story. Girlfriend Doris, landlord Daryl, and husband Sam get involved – and the four like the media attention so much – they decide to expand the story – and make up another story about a man who lives in the hotel with them – the Strangler’s next victim – except the body has disappeared from his apartment. The story only creates national media attention and more rumors and stories they weren’t counting on – like staying in Daryl’s hotel is the fountain of youth – you digress in age by 10 years – which attracts everyone who is anyone in Hollywood to descend upon the town. Wealthy friend Roland finally steps in to help the four out of their dilemma – with an invasion from Mars. And the rest is history.
