Follow-up to Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" about the walking dead, It opens in a cemetery. Criswell, the "real" medium, rises from his coffin to tell us of "monsters to be despised." Dr. Acula (Kenne Duncan) is a phony medium aided by Valda Hansen, a bogus ghost, and big Tor Johnson, wearing rags and horrible scar makeup as Lobo. The doctor swindles people by pretending to contact dead relatives, but then accidentally succeeds in reviving a bunch of corpses that bury him alive! Sat unreleased for 23 years because Wood couldn't pay the lab bill! Followed by "Sinister Urge" in 1961 (Wood's last film).

Criswell: How many of you know the horror, the terror I will now reveal to you?
-
Capt. Robbins: Kelton! Patrolman Paul Kelton: Uh, yes sir? Capt. Robbins: Where's Bradford? Patrolman Paul Kelton: I got a hold of him, Inspector Robbins, but he isn't here! Capt. Robbins: I'm not blind! I can see he's not here! But when he does get here, send him in here!
-
Patrolman Paul Kelton: Monsters! Space people! Mad doctors! They didn't teach me about such things in the police academy! And yet that's all I've been assigned to since I became on active duty! Why do I always get picked for these screwy details all the time? I resign. Capt. Robbins: Kelton, so help me, if you don't get the hell outta here-... Patrolman Paul Kelton: You're all against me. The whole police force is against me! The whole CITY is against me! I resign!
-
Karl: What is the meaning of this intrusion on our privacy? Lt. Daniel Bradford: There are others in this house? Karl: Many, the living and those gone beyond. The dead. But I can't see where that's any of your affair. Lt. Daniel Bradford: The living and the dead. Why, yes. Yes.
Movie Trivia:
- When Wade Williams acquired the rights to Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) in 1982, Wood's widow, Kathy, told him of this never-released film that was being held by a post-production house because the lab fees hadn't been paid. Williams paid the fees and acquired this film as well.

Tor Johnson reprises his "Lobo" role from _Bride Of The Monster (1955)_. The "Lobo" that Tor plays in The Unearthly (1957) is not the same character.
