Honestly, a streaming service should buy the rights to this and put out an Orgy of the Dead variety show every year.

It's a nudie cutie where women take turns dancing topless and a couple has to watch for some reason. The dialogue between the hosts and the monster characters could be perfect banter and a Greek chorus, but it just goes nowhere. It's so captivatingly bad it could easily make your annual Halloween watch list.

I could see a modern version working so well that's full of drag, burlesque, and whatever other weird freaky stuff you can come up with.

The 1965 version is camp, it needs to go all out gay.

You can probably find it on YouTube or other means, I got reminded about Orgy of the Dead from a Mubi email, it may not be available in your country on there though.

I always wonder if these kinds of movies were straight vhs or w/e they had in 65?

This is a classic example of a B film. Theatres back then had double features where you got two films for the price of one and the second movie was usually low budget stuff, and often relied on being a bit edgier than the usual fare to make up for the cheaper production. Video tapes only started to become a thing a decade after this, and didn't get really big until the 1980s.

Interesting. I Wonder why did 2 movies in the first place.

Probably more opportunity to sell concessions.

Movies also weren't 4 hours long with no intermission like they are now.
