A horror writer and his girlfriend go to a graveyard in the middle of the night for "inspiration". Seems he gets his best ideas in the middle of the night, in spooky graveyards. Or something. They get abducted by some unconvncing "monsters" and are forced to watch as the "King of the Dead" (famous crank psychic Criswell) judges the "creatures of the night". These "creatures", of course, are actually a bunch of topless go-go dancers doing their acts. Not much plot beyond that, but compelling nonetheless...and probably pretty hot stuff for 1965. Lots of the stupid dialogue, especially Criswell's opening and closing remarks ("Monsters to be pitied...monsters to be despised!") was copied word for word from the 1959 classic Night Of The Ghouls. Based on the "novel" by b-movie legend Ed Wood (which wasn't even published until after this movie was released). A genuine Ed Wood product, directed by his friend and frequent co-conspirator A.C. Stephen. Incredibly brain-dead, but hilariously bad and entertaining. One of my favorites.
