Criswell, Fawn Silver, Mickey Jines

B-movie horror master Ed Wood's 1965 piece de resistance mixes a mad potion of zombies and wolves. John (William Bates) writes gory tales and needs some inspiration, so his girlfriend, Shirley (Pat Ba...( read more  read more... )rrington), arranges for them to visit a cemetery. What they find instead is a ghoulish netherworld that makes its appearance only at night, when it can cloak itself in the darkness as its denizens wield their dark powers.

    Ed Wood isn't in the credits, but he MUST have had a hand in this. A monster movie with strippers...or is it a stripper movie with monsters?Apparently the film soundtrack is different from what the dancers were hearing, because they don't seem to be in time with the music. Maybe ...( read more)they're just that bad of dancers.

    The women are beautiful and the atmosphere is fun but the "story" is non-exsistant and the overall production is laughable. Does anyone have the Ed Wood "novel" that this is based on? I'd love to read it!

    Good ol' Monsters captures and chains 2 teens. A old cemetery it's their home and 'The King of Darkness' (haha, Criswell!)wants to have a night of fun. His Mistress Ghoulita('the ghoulish goddess of the Dancing Dead') presents to him a bizzarre bouillabaisse show ....mmm some bab...( read more)es are hot and Monsters make up it's funny. More 60s parade of strip-tease than a true horror movie.

    A truly great BAD movie....for Ed Wood fans. "Tourture, it PLEASES me so!!!"

    I have to admit, I am a huge Ed Wood fan. PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE has been hailed as THE worst movie ever made. They apparently had not seen ORGY OF THE DEAD when they had decided this. Soft core porn made up to look like typical Ed Wood opus. There is about 10 minutes of plot, i...( read more)f that, and 80 or so minutes of nude stripper girls dancing for Criswell pleasure! I gave this movie 1/2 a star only because Criswell is so damm campy in this. Wood only wrote the screenplay to this...um...film! What's even funnier...it's based on a NOVEL he wrote! View at your own risk!

    Okay, we know Ed Wood movies are bad. I'm okay with that. But soft porn Ed Wood is beyond bad. It's just sad. Good soundtrack though.
