Trumpets at seances sounds faintly familiar. But slide-whistles and ukuleles? Abd a trumpet MUTE??

Absolutely one of the most entertaining films ever made. I've probably seen it 10 times (but I haven't seen it in at least 20 years). It has aged extremely well. Wonderfully (or woefully) timeless. Thank you, Mr. Wood!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Ed had made a completely different movie, then decided it should be a sequel to Bride of the Monster. Or possibly was making a sequel and then decided it should be completely different. This was the man who made Plan 9 from Outer Space, after all. He just made it up around a few scenes of poor dead Bela and kept forgetting to make sure it was consistent. It's night. Now it's day. Now it's night again. We are raising the dead to make Earth take notice of Aliens. Now we have to stop Earth finding out about us. Consistency was not one of Ed Woods strong points.

What was Lobo doing until they built a new creepy house on top of the old creepy house? You think getting beaten up by a mad doctor , cleaning up tons of octopus droppings, getting blown up in a house struck by lightning and the inability to lodge a verbal complaint with your employer about the late hours and the low pay ( plus getting hit in the face with a whip every now and then) , you might want to reconsider a career change. But you can take the boy out the swamp, but not swamp out of the boy; taking into account Lobo's face now looks like said swamp.

The guy at 0:57 who yells "It was a nightmare of horror!" was also Mister Romaine in Ed Wood's "The Sinister Urge", a man who doesn't see anything wrong with smut pictures. I don't know where he learned acting, but he seems to do everything over the top!

ricardus lordhighexecutioner

Also he was in BRIDE OF THE MONSTER as the police commander! With his little bird there.

The thing about Ed Wood is, you know the movie is going to suck, but you can almost be sure that it is entertaining. Plan 9 is one of the worst movies ever, but i still have a great time evey time i watch it.

Jeremy Zak

5y↑7

Worst movie ever would entail that it was devoid of entertainment. Plan 9 was bad but it kept us entertained. I don't think it's right to call Plan 9 the worst movie ever.

That's one thing that set him apart. He tried to entertain, maybe even say something with his movies, though it was kind of hard to tell what. That's more than you could say for say, Coleman Francis.

I'd have to be stuck on Mars with absolutely NOTHING ELSE to watch, to make me sith through ANY of Wood's "films." He's proof that you CAN make a movie with a $1.98 budget.

Totally agree. Night of the Ghouls is my desert island film.

Just mentioning Ed Wood's name in a movie explains everything you're going to need to know about that movie. If it makes no sense and everything is terrible and you throw Ed Wood into the mix, nothing more needs to be said. And people are going to watch just because it was made by Ed Wood.

Gotta love the White Ghost. Her name was Valda Hansen.
Of herself and Ed Wood she once said, "We were on this Earth, but not of it."
That seems to sum them up pretty handily.

I thought it was a sequel to Plan 9. Anyway, I love the blonde, Valda Hansen. That's the best part of the movie, but she doesn't make enough appearances! :-)

I always give Ed's movies high ratings simply because they're endlessly entertaining. His ludicrous ineptitudes are mesmerizing.

Please consider reviewing The Ghoul (1933), a British film, starring Boris Karloff. It also features Cedric Hardwick, the film debut of Ralph Richardson, Egyptology mania, atmospheric s, and excellent lighting and photography. In the USA, the film is in public domain. The British version is under copyright. The American film springs from Czechoslovakia and the UK was a “lost” film found by the BFI.If the copyright issues are not insurmountable, I strongly recommend reviewing it. Boris Karloff Plays a different style of sinister menace,

Ah, my man! A fellow connoisseur of truly bad films! I've enjoyed NotG many times and always find something new to marvel at, viz.: Did you notice the puzzling absence of doorknobs in the inspector's office? The same defect follows them to the creepy mansion. Budget must have been exceedingly tight!

Gregg Robinson

That knobless door shows up in a few of Wood's films. Good to see it's finally getting some recognition!

Very well done... had not seen "Dark Corners" before. Nice presentation all the way around. I'll be watching all of the episodes. One tiny issue - maybe a rating format would help. I wasn't sure whether you recommended the movie or not, beyond the accurate but predictable (for Wood flicks) "it's terrible but you can laugh at it." But I'm nit-picking. Excellent program with a knowledgeable host who is engaging and humorous without being over-the-top silly like so many youtube reviewers.

Thamks for the kind words an d feedback. We do an extra video on patron where we discuss if it is a worth while use of your time watching... wink wink nudge nudge... but maybe we should integrate into the main review too

Dr. Acula!? I always thought that name was thought up by Forrest J. Ackerman! As most of the viewers here probably know, he was the editor of Famous Monsters magazine and was known for his clever word play. Actually my screen name here was thought up by him for the movie "Dracula vs. Frankenstein".
P.S.
Could you review Dracula vs Frankenstein? It's a favorite 'bad' film of mine and one of director Al Adamson's best movies.

Considering this was made in the age of the cookie cutter atomic family house boom you could drive down a random street in a new development and look in any three random houses built in the neighborhood and find they all had the exact same floorplan. So "knowing" the house isn't that odd, stupid and lazy writing, but not really odd from the US perspective.

I guess Lon Chaney Jr. lost the part to Tor Johnson :)

Big Bad White Cracker

Tor Johnson works cheaper than Lon or John Carradine.

Big Bad White Cracker

Lon was either on a bender or making some other movie with a slightly bigger budget. Too bad he never appeared in a Wood picture.

Ed Wood made bad movies, but they were always entertaining. I've never seen an Ed Wood movie i didn't enjoy as long it's not taken too seriously. The blonde Valda Hansen was hot, back then, anyway. I like the scenes with her in them. I never knew this was supposed to be connected in anyway to Bride of the Monster. Maybe it is, very loosely. Thanks for that information. :-)

I'm new to Ed Wood's work - is the young cop from this film the same actor who played the alien in Plan 9? ("Your stupid minds! Your stupid, stupid - !")

Dark Corners Reviews

Paul Marco is the young cop. In fact Plan 9, night ghouls, bride of the monster are unofficially known as the "Kelton Trilogy" as his character appears in all 3 films. Dudley Manlove plays the alien in Plan 9.

Christopher Tomasello

Good show mate but I do have a small complaint well it's actually a bit more of a quibble actually and that is that your videos are too short which I guess in a way is a bit of a compliment. I would like it if you would dig deeper into the motivation behind the scenes you know the writing -production(speculate on the writer's room or insert yourself via CGI and that sort of thing) you're insights are very funny but I would like to see them developed further.This video example could have been filled out to a nice 15 minutes and it wouldn't be boring with the proposed additions.

Can't help but notice that Robin's hair is quite long in the review and yet really short in the end tag. Don't you reshoot that tag for every review. ;)(Since nobody mentioned Robin's hair in the latest Undead comments, I felt I had to do it here.)

+Michael Denney We were both really busy this month, normally I have reviews shot and edited a few weeks in advance, but we only got round to shooting this batch last week and I uploaded it about midnight.

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

This film was kept by the photo lab for almost 25 years be cause Ed didn't have the money to pay for the processing. After Plan 9 became a cult movie a video company paid the fee and released it. And the world has been sorry ever since. I like Orgy Of The Dead better. Why? Two words; naked chicks.

GREG FREEMAN

This is by far Ed Wood's worst film. It seems like a very low bar to clear it is stunningly dull and insulating in its stupidity. I watched this a few years ago after hearing about it for so long. Being available on YouTube I thought it was time to tick off another title from the Ed Wood filmography. I cannot recall if I watched it in a single sitting or broke it up into two. It's really bad, but never in a fun campy way. I believe he filmed this the same time as a pilot for a prospective tv series, which would have each story involve some supernatural theme. Needless to say it was never considered and was thought lost but found. Apart a few creepy shots of a theatre after hours it is a wholly unimaginative story, featuring two actors from Night of the Ghouls.

The year of the copyright is MCMLXXXIII (1983)... that made me do a double take. That's when it was released on VHS, it seems.

I noticed the Roman Numerals at 0:12 at the title of the picture: MCMLXXXIII. M is a thousand, C is a hundred which is left of the next M which is a minus hundred to the next thousand or 900. So far we have 19***. Next is L which is fifty. But then things go wrong. Then there are three Xs, each X represents ten, so that is thirty. So fifty and thirty is EIGHTY. Since each I represents one, the last digit is three. The film is copyrighted in 1983. That is no 1983 film. THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET THE ROMAN NUMERALS RIGHT. I looked up what year the film was released which was 1959. It should have been MCMLIX. MCM is 19*. L adds the next digit 195. The numeral I which represents one is to the left of a higher letter X which means subtract one from X which represents 10 for the last digit 9.
That noise from the ghost is one of those little plastic whistles with a slide which kids get as party favors at birthday parties. They have had those for years and still distribute them. They are one of the things parents confiscate as causing too much noise. Imagine how many of the theater goers recognized it.
Since the ghost was the same guy who said, "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives" in PLAN 9, he should have said, "Acula, you have no future."

+Lewis Doherty Actually, although the film was made in 59 it wasn't released until someone else acquired the rights in the early eighties, so the release date is correct. Which doesn't really help the rest of the film...

Lewis Doherty

Things seem to get stranger and stranger with some of these productions. I remember watching ED WOOD with the realization, the great stories weren't in the movies, but this cast of characters making movies. First, one assumes incompetence. No something stranger than that happens.

Rumor has it that when Ed Wood was one of the many Americans who landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1966 he was wearing lace underwear underneath his Army uniform.
