'You sure picked the wrong night to find a cemetery', says, what I
presumed to be our heroine to our hero, in the opening of "Orgy of the
Dead" which was written by Ed Wood but 'directed', if that's the right
word, by someone called A. C. Stephen, aka Stephen C. Apostolof. Yes, we
are in all-time-worst-movie territory again but this time in color and
with a hell of a lot of dancing, not to mention Criswell doing some
narration.
Who in their right mind actually paid money to see
crap like this? The dead, perhaps? Oh wait, what's this? Tits? Now I
get it; this was never meant to be a 'horror' film, (though it is a
horror), but a 'nudie', of which there were many in the sixties. On that
level, it's no worse than any other, (alright, maybe it is), but while
there is a lot of lascivious dancing, (mostly just swaying about with
nothing on), there's no actual sex. Any sexual activity usually took
place in the darkness of the auditorium and while there's a Wolfman and a
Mummy, actual zombies seem to be in short supply. Gob-smackingly
awful.
