Orgy of the Dead

Even though it is listed here as a 1980 movie, it seems much in the style of the 1960s. The dialog is terrible, and the plot is barely there. Also barely there are the thong-style bikini bottoms worn by the topless dead dancing women! By the fading light of the full moon, they strip and strut for the "Ruler of the Dark", (his side-kick is great, probably the best dressed/best actress in this movie) allegedly as punishment for their immoral ways in life. It was also an ironic touch to catch and tie up the couple who were watching all this (it could happen to you!) Overall, a gratuitous skinflick, with a whole lotta shakin' goin' on, and some pretty good thematic music, but a no-brainer beyond that. At least it's an attempt to bring erotica and horror together...

This has to go down as one of the most inane pieces of celluloid schlock ever released on an unsuspecting public. For bad movie buffs you can consider that a recommendation, and for the rest of you, don't say you weren't warned! A young couple crashes their car only to end up in a cemetery full of half naked strippers being watched over by "The Ruler of Darkness" and his foxy looking assistant "Ghoulita". There are also some pretty bad attempts at comic relief by a werewolf and a mummy. Need I say more? Well, even if I wanted to I couldn't because that about sums up the entire plot. Screenplay by Ed Wood, which could possibly explain the ineptness of it all. As a fan of bad movies I ate this one up.

If you have nostalgia for 1960s skin flicks this is it. Lots of bare-breasted jiggly *. The chicks are svelte and pretty in a naive 60s sort of way (they all kinda look like second rate Raquel Welch/Ann-Margret clones). Reminds me of trench coated low life's beating off in empty, sleazy, smoke-filled movie theaters. There's really nothing much else to say. No plot, no dialog, just semi-* strippers prancing around on stage. But they're young and thin and sexy. If all you're looking for is some innocent fun before the advent of hard-core bj flicks this might be your cup of tea. If you get your kicks by fantasizing about the chicks in the Adam's Family or Munsters going around bare-breasted this may be it for you.

There's no discernible plot! There are some serious continuity problems! There are naked women dancing awkwardly to mistimed music! The Great Criswell is obviously reading his lines off of cue cards placed on his knees! You can see the Werewolf's hairless chest below his Halloween mask when he lets loose with something intended to be a howl! For crying out loud, it's a movie called "Orgy of the Dead" written by Ed Wood!! You were expecting "Casablanca"? If you view this movie with the proper attitude, a few sporting and mean-spirited friends, and the appropriate libation, I guarantee you that it will be a more gratifying 92 minutes than you would have at most movies playing on the big screen this year!
