- TriviaWhen Wade Williams acquired the rights to Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957) in 1982, Edward D. Wood Jr.'s widow, Kathy Wood, told him this never-released film was being held by a post-production house because the lab fees hadn't been paid. Williams paid the fees and acquired this film, finally releasing it 23 years after it was filmed.
- GoofsWhen the old couple are driving down the road, the man constantly moves the steering wheel left and right, despite doing in a straight line.
- Quotes
Patrolman Paul Kelton: Monsters! Space people! Mad doctors! They didn't teach me about such things in the police academy! And yet that's all I've been assigned to since I became on active duty! Why do I always get picked for these screwy details all the time? I resign.
Capt. Robbins: Kelton, so help me, if you don't get the hell outta here-...
Patrolman Paul Kelton: You're all against me. The whole police force is against me! The whole CITY is against me! I resign!
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits Tom Mason is credited as Thomas R. Mason, in the closing credits as Tom Mason.
- Alternate versionsThe original title, "Revenge of the Dead, was filmed and appeared on the original print. The replacement title "Night of the Ghouls" was added when Wade Williams bought and distributed the movie in video in the 1980s, as well as the phrase "Wade Williams presents".

Featured review
How can you not like a picture that opens with a man (Criswell)sitting up in a coffin and warning that the story you are about to see may make you faint. Then the credits come on and you see the director is Edward D. Wood Jr. Yes, you may indeed faint . . .but from laughing too hard. This sequel to BRIDE OF THE MONSTER is fun on many levels. It offers unrelated footage from the unfinished movie HELLBORN (some of which later turned up in THE SINISTER URGE) which narrator Criswell tries to tie into the plot: there is also footage of Duke Moore that was shot for a 1/2 hour TV show that is woven in also. What was called "the old Willows house on Lake Marsh" is now "the house on Willow's Lake" and everyone remembers it used to be lived in by "the mad scientist who made monsters". The giant octopus is long gone but Lobo (Tor Johnson) has somehow survived and is now employed by Dr. Acula (Kenne Duncan) a phony medium. Lobo is supposed to be the "monster" in the plot but one look at him makes you think otherwise. Dressed in rags, badly burned, half blind, groaning like he is in constant pain, Lobo inspires more pity than fear. In one scene Lt. Bradford (Moore) does not even seem to notice Lobo when he is standing right next to him! Well this is still a fun movie. The ineptness of an Ed Wood movie is compensated by the sincerity that he put into every production. Ed really believed he was contributing to the movie genre and making his mark. He sure did! Not quite in the way he expected, but look how many people are still watching his movies to-day!
