Follow-up to Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" about the walking dead, It opens in a cemetery. Criswell, the "real" medium, rises from his coffin to tell us of "monsters to be despised." Dr. Acula (Kenne Duncan) is a phony medium aided by Valda Hansen, a bogus ghost, and big Tor Johnson, wearing rags and horrible scar makeup as Lobo. The doctor swindles people by pretending to contact dead relatives, but then accidentally succeeds in reviving a bunch of corpses that bury him alive! Sat unreleased for 23 years because Wood couldn't pay the lab bill! Followed by "Sinister Urge" in 1961 (Wood's last film). Written by alfiehitchie
I, Humphrey Fish am now going to give my next review on another film directed by the Worst Director of all time, the immortal, infamous, Edward D. Wood Jr!
You want some cheesy, low budget fun? Night of the Ghouls works!
What did I think of this movie? I loved it, I loved it a lot! Why did I love it? Because like Plan 9 From Outer Space, its so bad that it is just plain good, that's why!
This is the sequel to Bride of the Monster that sat unreleased until the 1980's about ten years after Ed Wood's death, because he did not have the money to pay for the lab bill to produce the negatives.
Sure, a lot of what happened in this movie did not make much sense but the film is just great!
This is a must see for all Ed Wood fans!
Whenever I want to see something cheesy and bad, I watch this. I own this on DVD as part of the Ed Wood Box.
