ThiefHott Too much of everything

Steineded How sad is this?

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

hrkepler 'Night of the Ghouls' is a sequel to 1955 film 'Bride of the Monster' and its actions take place in the same old mansion where Dr. Vornoff created his atomic beasts. This time, though, the house is totally different and it lays near the graveyard and not in the swamp. Tor Johnson is reprising his role as Lobo and Paul Marco again is mumbling cowardly police officer Kelton. Besides those two, only recurring character is Police Captain Robbins played by Johnny Carpenter. In the 'Bride' Robbins' part was played by Harvey Dunn who this time had small role as a driver frightened by the ghost. There are some other actors who appeared in both films but in different roles. These inconsistencies between the two films, and inside the 'Night' make 'Night of the Ghouls' possibly the worst direct sequel ever. Thanks to the quirks of Ed Wood the film is still watchable entertainment, but not for anyone.But real star of this 'masterpiece' is not the director nor any of the main characters but the wooden panel door that appeared in police station and in Dr. Acula's home. Awesome.

Hitchcoc Ed Wood got another one through. This one involves and old house where something happened, ending up in the burning of the principle characters. Anyway, an old couple taking a short cut see strange goings on and weird creatures wandering around a spooky old house. An experienced ghost hunting police detective goes to investigate and comes upon a phony medium (in a turban) named Dr. Acula and his dog and pony show used to bilk people out of their money by bringing the spirits of the dead to life. Anyway, there's a disjointed bunch of activity that takes place. We get to see old Tor Johnson, who is partly blind and half burned but still a giant of a man. The problem for the con man is that there are some residual ghost/zombies around, running amok, killing people in the woods. Don't ask. The plot is stupid and the characters beyond belief. Still, it is Ed Wood. Need I say more?

PaulyC I know what you're thinking. This is an Ed Wood movie so it can't be that good. Yeah, well, it ain't that bad either. An elderly couple show up at the police station frightened out of their wits having claimed to see a ghost near an old house in the woods once owned by a deranged scientist. The police feel they need to check it out so they send in one of their officers who specializes in ghosts (don't all police squads have a ghost unit?). Another officer is sent who is very possibly the worst cop in the history of cinema. He fires his gun at anything that frightens him in the least. He's played by Ed Wood regular, Paul Marco, played with not one ounce of common sense or normalcy. Anyway, the two cops investigate the house and see it's just a front for the new owner, named Dr. Ackula (I'm not kidding), to run a profitable scam that involves talking to peoples dead relatives. One of Dr. Acula's goons to do his dirty work is played by Tor Johnson who is always a welcome sight in a movie like this. Criswell narrates the film but really is unnecessary to the story, although it kind of adds to the campiness. It is rumored that this movie sat in the can for almost two decades because Ed Wood couldn't afford to have the film developed. If you liked "Plan 9 from outer space" you'll probably at least find this film moderately amusing.

suspiria10 Ed Wood rounds up the usual suspects for this craptastic shocker. Lt. Moore is hot on the trail of shyster medium Dr. Acula (Uh huh, Dracula…I get it) who sets up his show in the good old Dr. Vornoff's (Bela Lugosi's lair in 'Bride of the Gorilla' (1955)) old lair to bilk little old ladies hard earned social security by channeling their love ones with floating sheets and phantom trumpet players who couldn't hold a tune even if they had pockets.. This guy couldn't talk to the dead with a two cans connected by string.The Woodmeister really outdoes himself with 'Ghouls'. I was laughing my butt off during the good doctor's séances. Oh great swami salami please raise the dead. 'Night of the Ghouls' is badly acted with horrible dialogue and some of the cheesiest effects in all his films. I had a great time with this one. 4/5
