Orgy of the Dead

The film opens to two muscle-bound men dressed in loincloths approaching a crypt. They open the doors, revealing a coffin. They remove the lid and exit the crypt, then the inhabitant of the coffin (The Amazing Criswell) sits up to deliver an opening narration. This narration mostly matches the prologue of ''Night of the Ghouls'' (1959), with one minor variation and an additional line. The phrase ''"world between the living and the dead"'' of the original is changed to ''"void between..."''. There is also a new line at the end: ''"A night with the ghouls, the ghouls reborn, from the innermost depths of the world!''"<ref name="Craig">Craig (2009), p. 217-241</ref> The opening credits feature the image of "an immobile young woman clad in gold". The image was probably inspired by a memorable scene of ''Goldfinger (film)'' (1964).<ref name="Craig">Craig (2009), p. 217-241</ref>
