Orgy of the Dead is little more than a parade of topless women dancing in a cemetery. The plot is thinner than gas station toilet paper. The acting couldn’t be worse if they actively tried to be bad. And the film’s editing and sound effects could probably be used in film schools as examples of how not to do it. But, hey, it’s a parade of topless women dancing in a cemetery.
Orgy of the Dead was written by the infamous Ed Wood and directed by Stephen C. Apostolf (as A.C. Stephen). If you’ve ever looked at the filmographies of these two guys, you kind of know what you’re in for–lots of breasts and not much more! And I must say, I was not bored. It turns out, watching a bunch of beautiful women dancing provocatively and shaking their tits around is a pretty good time.
All the women depicted in Orgy of the Dead are attractive but if one stands above the rest, it’s Pat Barrington, who plays two roles in the movie as Shirley and the Gold Girl. She’s reminiscent of the immortal Dyanne Thorne.

So Orgy of the Dead came out with the worst PHEMSA score thus far, I think, with a 35. But don’t let that dissuade you from watching it. It was definitely a better use of my time than some recent flicks like Spiral and Godzilla vs Kong. Watch it on Tubi.
