aka Revenge of the Dead
How bad is it? It's an Ed Wood film that wasn't released.
Should you see it? It's minor Wood, but yes.
Semi-sequel to "Bride of the Monster," this film starts with psychic Criswell rising from a coffin in a cemetery and announcing what's to come. A fake swami pretends to resurrect the dead, but unknowingly actually does it; he gets buried alive for his trouble. Wrestler Tor Johnson, in very bad scar makeup, menaces and Vampira lookalike Jeannie Stevens plays the Black Ghost. A detective investigates a series of murders at the house where seances are being held. There are trumpets on very visible strings, a spirit guide that's a head in a pith helmet and ghosts in sheets that manage to make the floorboards creak. Ed Wood himself makes a cameo as a corpse. This film supposedly sat on a shelf for decades, unreleased.
