By the time Jersey and Allie arrive, the ghouls awaken in the morgue and, with no nourishment in sight, they trap Jersey and Allie along with the attendants–including Mrs. Poopinplatz (Phyllis Diller) and her poodle–and begin to feast on any available humans. The survivors struggle to combat the beasts that, by now, have possessed the bodies of Mrs. Poopinplatz and her poodle. Will the madness never end?

Cast: Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty, Pat Hingle, Audrey Christie, Sean Garrison, Phyllis Diller, Sandy Dennis, Zohra Lampert, Barbara Loden, Gary Lockwood, Fred Stewart, Joanna Roos, John McGovern, Jan Norris, Martine Bartlett
This film marked Warren Beatty's film debut. He plays Bud Stamper whose family is affluent, and Natalie Wood plays Bud's girlfriend Deanie Loomis who has a nervous breakdown following the end of her romance with Bud. Soap? You bet. But there's some good acting, and the setting of the Midwest in the 1920s helps the atmosphere. Wood was nominated for an Oscar. Remade (for TV) in 1981.
