ORGY OF THE DEAD In Detroit – August 22nd and 30th, 1967
It’s been a while since I posted something for the Dead2Rights readers who know this Blog is still in action, and it’s great to come across any ad for ORGY OF THE DEAD. In this capture, it’s at the Guild in Detroit with MONDO WEIRDO and what I think is Doris Wishman’s NUDES ON THE MOON. To those wondering, Ed Wood wrote this mix of Horror and burlesque with many teasing set pieces being the focus of the story apart from the appearances of Fawn Silver and Criswell being masters of the ceremonies seen by a couple “sent to Hell” (via the “just a dream” cliché) after a car accident of which they slowly recover from. It did OK through the Adults Only scene through it’s novelty and most importantly the looks of the dancers and should be seen by fans of the PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE Director mainly through curiosity value although some may be drawn into the twilight topless world without warning – like me!
Thankfully, I found a better ad from the week before playing at the Variety.
