Stripping through the Graveyard: The Orgy of the Dead Mega Review, Part 10

10: The Fluff Dance


Black Ghoul Introduction

All others were but infinitesimal bits of fluff, compared to her!  This one would have died for feathers, fur, and fluff ... and so she did!

Ed Wood Crazy Talk Grade: B-

Sexiness

There's no monster theme here, it basically a standard 60s burlesque routine.  That said, the stage hand Werewolf and key grip Mummy really seem to be enjoying themselves!  They can barely hold each other back, and Criswell seems pretty smirky about the whole thing.  I'm beginning to think the Emperor of the Night might be a pervert.

During parts of this dance, the dancer (Rene De Beau, they were bad at stripper names in the 60s) seems to be really, really concentrating.  What is she thinking of?
  • Did I twirl four times?  I can't kick if I haven't twirled at least four times!
  • There'd better be donuts at the craft table!
  • There'd better actually be a craft table!
  • That's a really pretty sweater on Ed!
  • Will Criswell share his booze?
Grace

Not bad, she's got a good set of moves, and can look good next to a ridiculous Werewolf and Mummy.  That's talent!

Closeness to Theme

She would have died for feathers, fur, and fluff, but she dances in remnants, scraps, and something Ed found in his closet.  Bonus points for having the least noticeable wig, and eye shadow that matches the panties!

Music

Toss in the 77 Sunset Strip Theme, a high school band playing their school fight song, and a radio tuned to static into a high speed blender and set to "blend" for 5 minutes, "liquify" for 4, and finally "suck" forever.

Length of Act

Almost 7 and a half minutes of constantly wondering if fries come with that.

The Wrap Up

This dance chews up all the rest of the time, and both Criswell and the Black Ghoul dissolve into skeletons mid-victim-kill.  The Werewolf dies in a strange tick bath incident, and the mummy is pulped and recycled into cheese cracker packaging.

No, not really, they turn into skeletons also.  The skull from the Mexican dance can also be seen lying around, making four bodies and five skulls.  Along with telling the time, math doesn't seem to be a high point amongst the land of the night.


I told you it was a wig!

Honestly, though, turning into a skeleton isn't such a bad fate in a secret world of darkness where being a skeleton gives you a leg up on picking up strippers!

Rest well, Ed Wood Jr.  You entertained us more than you could have ever imagined.
