Night of the Floating Bedsheets, 5 September 2005
6/10
Author: morton grimp

This is sort of a sequel to Wood's earlier film Bride of the Monster. It has Tor Johnson as Lobo and makes occasional references to events that took place in his earlier film. It's received some pretty bad reviews, but honestly I like this film. The film starts with Criswell speaking from a coffin, and he continues to do occasional narration throughout the whole film.

As for the story, it goes like this. There's been reports of "ghosts" haunting people in an abandoned old house near a cemetery. The police investigate it and find out there's much more going on in this house than just ghosts. There's a man getting paid by people to bring their friends and relatives back to life.

Ed Wood may have made better movies, but some of the corny scenes in this film had me laughing. Criswell's presence alone is enough to keep me entertained. I won't give it a 10, but I did enjoy this film quite a lot.
