“Night of the Ghouls” is Ed Wood’s sequel to “Bride of the Monster” with Tor Johnson providing continuity as Lobo the lumbering quiet henchman, now with a badly burned face courtesy of the immolation of Dr. Vornoff’s laboratory. Thank goodness Tor was able to hasten the plastic octopus and nuclear blast at the destroy of “Bride of the Monster.” I wouldn’t have belief a 400 pound Swedish wrestler pleasant of outrunning a mushroom cloud, but you learn something original every day!
“Night of the Ghouls” starts with Wood regular Criswell in a coffin (immense surprise) rambling on with verbal compost such as “For many years I have told you the almost fabulous, related to the unreal, and showed to be more than fact.” Unbiased when that is sinking in, we secure sidetracked on a ten tiny place cul-de-sac about juvenile delinquency (“Is this the major apprehension of our times? “) illustrated with a unfriendly sock hop and fist fight sequence. Logically this, of course, leads to a narrated discussion on statistics of motor vehicle accidents (notice for a cameo of Ed Wood himself as a break victim) as kept by the National Safety Council. Huh?
All this may lead you to ask, “Yes, but where are the ghouls? “, and a graceful query that is. We finally acquire to eye a woman in a gauzy dress looking for all the world like a awful Stevie Nicks impersonator, frighten two very hammy old-fashioned actors with her plain fingernails. I refer to her as the Budget Zombie, and once you’ve seen the movie, you will understand why. Thank goodness Wood regular Kelton the cop (Paul Marco) is on the case along with Lieutenant Daniel Bradford, professional ghost chaser. (That’s the movie’s staunch words, unbiased.) Kelton spends the bulk of this film (the third in the spirited “Kelton Trilogy”) shivering in a police car after a ghost alarmed him so badly he was compelled to race into a tree.

Needless to say, all the problems we fetch are as a result of depraved activity in the ‘old house at Willows Lake’ (which was the faded Bela and Tor plot in “Bride of the Monster”, we are led to understand.) This time it is the home of false conniver ‘Dr. Acula’, which may be the worst single pun in movie making history (played by professional heavy Kenne Duncan.) Dr. Acula is busy conducting bogus seances, which are the second least realistic seances ever filmed, narrowly edged out by the disturbingly amusing seance in “The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman.” Display at the seance are a couple of skeletons, a trumpet suspended by strings playing random notes (you are clinically humdrum if this does not create you laugh), a ghost which is lamer than any Halloween costume ever (yes; it’s a guy with a sheet on), all accompanied by a decidedly un-spooky scramble whistle, and last, but certainly not least, a section of what appears to be a Tupperware of some sort, or possibly a Salad Spinner, ‘levitating’ in a most inspiring scheme accompanied by a cat playing a zither (apparently.) You must inspect this scene to fill it. Oh, yes, and for dramatic enact, Dr. Acula channels an idiot who can barely order English wearing a colander on his head to relay information on the deceased from beyond the grave to their living relatives, one of whom is wearing the most imaginative (and broad) feather trimmed fedora I have ever seen. To add a touch of panache, well-known Coleman Francis regular Tony Cardoza (“The Skydivers”, “Red Zone Cuba”) makes a special guest appearance as ‘Tony.’ Peruse for it!
This is a improbable specimen of Wood. Though not as tremendous as the immortal “Opinion 9″, “Night of the Ghouls” has its hold charms, and is worth the time of any viewer eager in the history of grade Z cinema, or for that matter, anyone who unprejudiced wants a kindly laugh. The trumpets and levitating kitchenware alone are worth the asking effect of this DVD, which, by the arrangement, is of shapely quality, though sadly lacking added features. Thank you Ed Wood for this cramped known gem, and thank you, Image Entertainment, for bringing us this DVD!
Ed Wood, the worst director of all time; strikes again with this sequel to his “classics” Notion 9 FROM OUTER Status and BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. NIGHT OF THE GHOULS (a.k.a REVENGE OF THE Monotonous) has the inimitable Tor Johnson reprising his role as the hulking henchman Lobo; now hideously disfigured following the lab fire at the climax of BOTM. Criswell also narrates the film from the comfort of his coffin: “… a myth so astonishing that some of you may faint!”

Once again Wood wears multiple hats as writer, producer and director of another terrible but fun “fright” movie.
The tale takes residence in the itsy-bitsy town of Willow Lake, where in the now familiar creepy dilapidated house Lugosi’s successor, a aroused Swami named Dr Acula (Kenne Moore) is raising the listless from their graves- one of which is a man in a cape with a high neck which is supposed to compose him appear headless!- and setting them on juvenile delinquents, kids who do nothing worse than rock ‘n roll dancing. Enter bumbling police Captain Robbins (John Carpenter- not the director) to try and originate sense of and save an slay to the madness, once and for all. But inside the house he has to contend with joke shop skeletons which are seated at the dining room table and possessed floating trumpets that play by themselves; as well as taking portion in Acula’s seance to raise the dead: the conjured spirit turns out to objective be a guy covered by a bedsheet! Wood’s attempt at a climactic situation twist is impartial as bad as the rest of the movie… which is apt. Accurate?
What makes Wood’s movies so silly is that he always made them with serious intentions, here he tries to tackle “serious” subjects such as the aforementioned delinquency and road deaths, the results of which are (naturally) inept and wholly innocuous. There are also references by characters to BRIDE OF THE MONSTER as well as several shots from that movie being reused- notably the lightning storm. NIGHT OF THE GHOULS went unreleased for 25 years because Wood couldn’t afford to pay the printing lab.
DVD extras includea bio and filmography for Wood, as well as trailers for Thought 9, GLEN OR GLENDA, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER and JAIL BAIT (which I haven’t seen yet) . A must-have for film buff and fans of abominable movies.
