1959 Ed Wood movieRating: 2/20
Plot: There's strange goings-on out in the middle of nowhere. Two old travellers become either scared or amused depending on how you read their acting and report those strange goings-on to the po-po. Detectives are sent out to uncover the mysteries of a strange house and a phony spiritualist.
I've just gotta say that the scene in this movie with the fake seance is likely the best thing I've seen all year. Mute, motionless skeletons, a dancing trumpet, a disembodied head in blackface, stunned (maybe; the acting isn't very good) onlookers, a dancing ghost, terrible dialogue. It has been a while since I've seen Plan 9 from Outer Space, but this is possibly an even worse and therefore even more entertaining chunk of B-movie. So wrong that it's. . .well, it's still completely wrong. It's the very best kind of wrong though!
