Yikes!, 4 April 2006

Author: xredgarnetx from Connecticut

I got about as far as I could into this Ed Wood "home movie," and finally gave up. Wood recycles footage and sets and characters and situations from his other "home movies" to tell us a story about a decrepit house where a mad doctor once made monsters. All I know is there's a cute gal in white who scares people and is in turn scared, and a Vampira-looking woman in black who kills people by covering them with her veil. Tor Johnson shows up as a badly scarred and injured Lobo from a previous film, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. It's a tossup for worst performance. I will give it to the guy playing phony medium Dr. Acula (how's that for a clever name?). But there is plenty of bad acting to go around. And check out some of the sets! One of the scenes inside a "police station" shows a cop sitting at a desk, with a bunch of plain paneled curtains hanging on the wall behind him.
