Greenleaf Classic GC-205 Paperback Original (1966). Movie tie-in with photos throughout. Cover Art by Robert Bonfils

"Orgy of the Dead" is a 1965 erotic horror film by cult film director Edward D. Wood Jr.. He wrote the screenplay and adapted it into the novel. Ten striptease performances by topless dancers from beyond the grave outfitted in various motifs comprise most of this movie. Wood served as writer, production manager, casting agent, and even held up cue cards on this low-budget film, although he did not direct. It was directed by Stephen C. Apostolof under the alias A. C. Stephen.

 

Director, screenwriter, pornographer, hellraiser -- Ed Wood was one of the most iconoclastic and tragic figures in Hollywood history, best known for his awful films: Plan 9 from Outer Space, Bride of the Monster, Orgy of the Dead, Glen or Glenda and other schlock masterpieces. He had no talent for filmmaking but he made movies anyway. Ed's writing is on about the same level as his filmmaking but Ed was nothing if not sincere.

 

Tim Burton made a movie about Ed Wood in 1994 with Johnny Depp starring as the eccentric director.
