Watch Night of the Ghouls For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

'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.

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?

Edward Wood's most outrageous film (along with 'Glen or Glenda') follows the exploits of the L.A. police when they are forced to wake up so they can try to jolt into action to investigate strange goings-on at a local haunted house.The weirdness begins with the introduction of Dr. Acula (Kenny Duncan). Soon we are exposed to occupied coffins, drunken skeletons, bedsheets floating to the tooting of a kazoo, a levitating eyeball, a disembodied trumpet playing a weak slew of licks, and an enigmatic human head mouthing a drone of incoherent mumbling while wearing a metal hat.If you think this all sounds totally nuts, you're right. You may want to get blasted before attempting to sit through this delirium.Semi-sequel to Wood's 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'.

Ed Wood's followup to "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Lt. Bradford (Duke Moore) and patrolman Paul Kelton (Paul Marco) go investigate a deserted house where strange things are happening. There they find Dr. Acula (sigh) (Keene Duncan) who's a phony spiritualist trying to bilk wealthy people by "contacting" their dead spouses.This is the legendary Wood film that sat unreleased for 25 YEARS because Wood couldn't pay the lab bill! It has the typical Wood ingredients--a bad script, lousy acting (although Moore wasn't bad), a stubborn refusal to make sense and dreadful direction and editing. However it's not as bad (or as funny) as "Plan 9" or "Bride of the Monster" were. This is just pretty boring stuff. It has some fun moments--Tor Johnson's truly laughable makeup job and a bewildering séance (where someone is shot at multiple times and someone is knocked out cold--and no one bats an eyelash) but it's mostly just dull. Even Criswell (narrating from a coffin this time) seems to just be going through the motions. And good luck explaining what the Black Ghost is doing in this! Pretty bad...even for Wood. I give it a 1.
