Night of the Ghouls is a 1959 horror film written and directed by Ed Wood.
It is a sequel of sorts to the 1955 film Bride of the Monster. The film
was not publicly exhibited until 1987, as Wood could not afford to pay
the lab fees to process the negatives, so they were held at a post-production
house for 23 years.
Wood had called it Revenge of the Dead. Towards the beginning of the film,
in the police station, a picture of Wood is visible on the wall.
It opens in a cemetery. Criswell, the "real" medium, rises from his coffin
to tell us of "monsters to be despised." Dr. Acula (Kenne Duncan) is a phony
medium aided by Valda Hansen, a bogus ghost, and Tor Johnson, wearing rags and
scar makeup as Lobo. The doctor swindles people by pretending to contact dead
relatives, but then accidentally succeeds in reviving a bunch of corpses that
bury him alive!
