Stephen Apostolof directed this Ed Wood written story about...well I really don't know.
A couple, Bob (William Bates) and Shirley (Pat Barrington) are involved in a car accident near a cemetery and when they awaken they stumble upon a terrifying nightmare (just kidding).
Actually they stumble upon The Emperor (Criswell) and his servant The Black Ghoul (Fawn Silver) judging souls and deciding if they should be condemned to hell or worse.
These souls are represented by naked dancing women in various costumes such as Hawaiian, Indian, Slave and many others. Bob and Shirley are captured by a Mummy and Werewolf and tied to stakes to watch the rest of the dancing. The Emperor tells them that they will die by the end of the evening.
The dancing continues as the Mummy tells the Werewolf about his life during the time of Cleopatra (no, I am not kidding). The Werewolf howls like his scrotum is caught in a vice!! I have never heard anything like that in a film before.
The Black Ghoul wants Shirley for her own use, but all does not go as planned and before Bob and Shirley can be killed the sun rises and everyone disappears or turns to skeletons. The police arrive with the ambulance crew and assure them both that everything has only been a dream.
The plot is not much by any means and neither is the acting, but I do have to admit a small fondness for this movie and that may be due to the fact that the gorgeous Pat Barrington is looking so fine.
All I can say is that if you like Ed Wood written movies, lots of naked women dancing around, bad acting or Pat Barrington you might like this movie. It has been years since I saw this and I found it totally by accident in Boise, Idaho.
