Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

ofpsmith Okay maybe I'm being too harsh. This film isn't as enjoyable as Plan 9 From Outer Space or Bride of the Monster the other Ed Wood movies I've seen. It's not as entertaining. When I'm talking about Wood Plan 9 From Outer Space is obviously what comes up. But this film barley ever is. It's a simple plot. Dr. Acula (Get it) is a phony psychic that is a con artist that pretends to tell people that he can bring the dead back to life. And in a Wood movie, if it's supposed to be fake, then it really is. I have Halloween decorations more realistic than this. Anyway they're infiltrated by two police officers. Lieutenant Daniel Bradford (Duke Moore) and everyone's favorite Wood idiot Patrolman Paul Kelton (Paul Marco) who was in Plan 9 and Bride of the Monsters. Daniel and Paul eventually escape or something, and then the real ghosts come and attack Acula. That's about it. It's just as campy as Plan 9 but it's nowhere near as entertaining. It's not awful or anything it's just kind of boring.

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

Johann This is the "lost" Ed Wood film. It wasn't released until 1983 because Wood couldn't pay for the development fees at the film lab. I highly doubt that this would have been the one to break him into the mainstream.The plot is that Dr. Acula (hee-hee get it?) is running a spook house in the same house that was supposedly burned down in "Bride of the Monster." Tor Johnson also plays the same character, Lobo, who was supposedly burned in the accident. And yet again, Kelton the cop mucks things up with his stupidity. Overall, I really don't think it was intended as a sequel, but in the weird world of Ed Wood just about anything could be recycled. I didn't enjoy this one as much as Wood's other films. I think that he did a better job on this than Plan 9, but it lacked something.Look for Dr. Tom Watson (this time he actually shows his face unlike when he played Bela Lugosi's stunt double), and Tony Cardoza (MST3K fans should recognize him as everyone's favorite monotone, Coleman Francis collaborator).
