night of the ghouls (1959)


"Monsters! Space people! Mad doctors! They didn't teach me about such things in the police academy!"
Opens with Criswell, a real medium, who introduces the film about "monsters to be despised." Dr. Acula (Kenne Duncan) is a phony medium aided by the White Ghost (Valda Hansen), someone pretending to be a ghost, and Lobo (Tor Johnson), in horrible scar makeup. The doctor is busy swindling people by pretending to contact their dead relatives, but one night accidentally succeeds in reviving some corpses. Step in Police Lieutenant Daniel Bradford (Duke Moore), and the legendary Patrolman Kelton (Paul Marco) to sort it all out.
This low rent movie supposedly sat unreleased for 23 years as Wood couldn't pay the lab fees! A legendarily bad film, which one would expect of the follow up to 'Bride Of The Monster'.
