From the mind of Ed Wood comes ORGY OF THE DEAD! Horror novelist John and his girlfriend Shirley are taking a night drive, in search of an eerie graveyard that will hopefully inspire John to come up with his next story, but instead stumble into the wild rituals conducted by The Dark Master and his faithful servants. Taken prisoner, they're forced to watch the shocking rites unfold as they await their fate!

Written by the venerable Ed Wood (GLEN OR GLENDA), directed by cult movie maverick, A.C. Stephen (FUGITIVE GIRLS), lighting and camera assistance from Ted V. Mikels (THE DOLL SQUAD) and starring Criswell (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE), ORGY is a campy, sexy, and thoroughly outrageous gem from the height of the 'nudie cutie' period and is proudly presented by Vinegar Syndrome on Blu-ray for the first time in a brand new 2k restoration from the original 35mm camera negative!

Reviews

Pure Ed Wood

"Every ten minutes of topless women shaking it you get criswell spouting insane dialogue or a wolf man and a mummy doing silly antics. Great film"

— Daniel R. (5/5)

Ed Wood and Criswell meet strippers and monsters

"I'm a fan of Ed Wood, Criswell, classic monsters, and old school smut. This movie combines all of those things, and the fine folks at Melusine have issued it on a blu ray that looks better than it has any right to. Goofy "psychic" Criswell stars as the Prince of Darkness, who holds court in a cemetery with his crew of werewolves, mummies, vampires, and skeletons. There he watches as strippers half halfheartedly dance for his amusement, uttering such distinctively Ed Woodian dialogue as, "Torture! Torture! It pleasures me!" Is it good? No, of course not. But for me, at least, it's a real hoot to watch."

— Robert I. (5/5)

Beautiful

"We are quite lucky to have such barely significant boring trash who's only bit of relevance is being written by an alcoholic Ed Wood get this treatment."

— Teun H. (5/5)

Orgy of the Dead

"Very strange movie. Basically it's a bunch of I would guess famous dancers doing their thing on camera. Some good effects to highlight the dancing. Small story to the movie but mostly it's strip dancing. Hey attractive ladies. So interesting to say the least. I'd recommend it just for oddity sake ."

— Anthony R. (5/5)

Remaster Ed Woods is something I never knew I’d enjoy!

"I need a full sized poster of this slipcover! I literally don’t understand how they always seems to have such good quality transfers. I need everything by this company!"

— Taylor S. (5/5)

What An Orgy!

"Wow! What an Orgy! Thanks to Vinegar Syndrome, you can enjoy an Ed Wood 60's era Nudie Cutie featuring Criswell in a remastered print (grateful for the Bonus Content!)"

— Cevan B. (5/5)

Loooong

"Aesthetically very cool but each scene just drags. Not sure what I was expecting"

— Dave C. (3/5)

Orgy of the Dead

"cool movie thanx vinegar!!!"

— Dirk W. (5/5)

Pure Camp Classic in Great Shape

"A delightfully campy cult oddity that delivers exactly what fans expect. The presentation here is strong, with vibrant colors and solid detail that suit the film’s stylized, late-60s aesthetic. Audio is clear and faithful to the original mix. A fun, well-produced release that treats this cult favorite with care"

— Thomas L. (5/5)

Perfect transfer

"Fantastic transfer"

— Pino C. (5/5)
