Well, I finally splurged and bought the DVD of this Fred Olen Ray travesty. And what a fine piece of crap it is! Everything about this movie is bad, including "star" Buster Crabbe, who must have shot all of his scenes in one day. He appears on screen in about 5 scenes for a total of maybe 10 minutes. Even though he receives top billing in the credits, and plays the sheriff, he never seems to be involved when anything important is happening, and he certain;y is NOT the hero. The special effects and make-up are terrible. Every time someone gets killed, blood comes out of their mouth (see the full review on this website for further comments about this). One guy gets cut in half, but it is very obvious that the bottom half of his body is in a pit or something, covered with leaves so that you can't see it. A couple of times, the film editor kept one or two seconds of film in the final print that was probably shot after the director had said "cut." So, you can see where the actors just stop performing and start to walk away. In fact, I am pretty sure that you can faintly hear the director say "cut" at the end of one shot. I will need to replay the scene and turn up the volume to verify this. A few other times you can see some of the actors playing ghouls smiling or laughing just before the end of a shot. This is really awful movie-making, but it will keep you laughing right up until the stupid ending.
i've had this flick for years now but haven't watched it yet. i'll have to move it up on my list. sounds great in your review.
