Some Ed Wood silliness

What am I getting myself into?

Well, I already know this will be AWFUL thanks in part to the mercilessly droning narrator talks about juvenile delinquency (???), and there's this laughably sparely furnished police station with an Ed Wood picture hanging on the wall (why???). An old couple screech about something nightmarish (that old wife actress is especially wretchedly dreadful) before being led out of the station. Later, after something regarding "those crazy kids and their delinquent ways" (dancing about outside a Sonic drive-in: to shame!), a mauling where a group of bullies pound some unfortunate joker before snatching his cash while some girl watches in boredom (!), and a car wreck (with a shot of some driver dead outside a window; this is Ed setting up a "poignant artistic shot of tragedy"), there's the finale of a bad date where the girlfriend slaps the boyfriend for trying for a little nookie. The boy runs after the girl while some "ghoul" (a woman in a black dress, bugging her eyes, with a covering over her face) attacks them both (biting them?).





There’s the “tale of the couple that drove towards the house near Willow’s Lake where there lived ‘that old mad doctor who made those monsters’” where the old farts who couldn’t act for shit (look at how the old timer with a throat clearing problem who needs a lozenge takes to the steering wheel; horrible) get the car stuck in mud near a house where a beautiful blond walking as if a zombie off the island of I Walked with a Zombie or Isle of the Dead approaches out of the foggy darkness.






The police chief sends out his cop (dressed in tuxedo and top hat! Seriously, what the fuck???) to investigate the house near Willow’s Lake. The ghoul girl (not the blond but the chick in the black dress) is looking on from within the woods nearby.

The viewer?

Dr. Acula

Really scary, right?




Poor Tor

Guess who lives in the house…a swami named Dr. Acula!
