Ed Wood wrote the "script" for this one, "Orgy Of The Dead". Is it a horror movie, a strip show, or is it both and a classic piece of non-movie trash that hypnotically semi-watchable for some reason we don't yet know. Yep, it's all that. So here are The Emperor & The Black Ghoul from that wonderful piece of bizarre trash.

Before you ask why Willy Wonka is included in a series called "monsters & Maniacs", don't forget this. He invited strange children to his bizarre shut-in factory and sat idly by (singing songs about it even) as he systematically relished in the murder and/or disfiguring of 4 children. Yeah, they were crappy kids, but still, a frickin' madman. P.S. - There is no acceptable Willy Wonka besides Gene Wilder - case closed.

From the other side of the classic story comes Mr. Hyde from the 1982 flick, "Jekyll & Hyde... Together Again".

The bright, cheery and fairly murderous Debbie Jellinsky from "Addams Family Values".

From what you might call a pretty convoluted, yet hypnotizingly odd flick, "The Forest", this is John, the cannibalistic / semi-feral Dad bod wandering about looking for hapless visitors to his haunted woods.

"The Bye Bye Man" may not the best title or movie, but hey at least you get a good Doug Jones performance and makeup - so that's something, right?

The worst vacation rental experience you'll ever have is courtesy of Gracie Gillam's great performance as Rebecca in Shudder's "Superhost".

The murderously adorable Dollface from the indie flick, "The Funhouse Massacre".

From the 1920 version of "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde", this is John Barrymore as one of the titular characters, Mr. Hyde. Why is it in blue? Well on original screenings of many silent classics, the projectionist used to have colored slides that wou;d go over the projection window at certain moments of the movie. an old way to inject color and mood into film, but pretty cool nonetheless. So in this scene, Mr. Hyde is doused in blue, so that's what I went with.

From the original Thanksgiving horror flick, this is Terry Simmons of 1987's ridiculous "Blood Rage".

Snoop Dogg takes his run at horror as a resurrected vengeful hustler in 2001's "Bones".

Ralph Fiennes as the meticulous and murderous, Chef Julian Slowik from "The Menu".

A couple of the sexed up monks from (the basically a porno/horror - or porror), "Mansion Of The Living Dead".

"The Exorcist" spawned a gazillion clones, one of the first out of the gate was 1974's, "Beyond The Door" starring Juliet Mills as the pukey Mom-To-Be, Jessica Barrett.

Otherwise known as "The Hitchhiker" from Tobe Hooper masterpiece. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

The basket bound twin of Duane Bradley, Belial, is now part of the family.

From 1981's "Nightmare", the thoroughly wacky George Tatum is now part of the menagerie.

The legendary Tom Savini an Fred Williamson as Sex machine & Frost from Robert Rodriguez's vampire strip club opus, "From Dusk Till Dawn".

From John Landis's first feature, "Schlock", it's the titular banana killer himself, Schlock.

A member of '80s and movie royalty in general, here's Dabney Coleman as Franklin Hart Jr. from "9 To 5".

From either "Strange Behavior" or "Dead Kids" (depending on where or when you saw it), this is Fiona Lewis as the evil injection specialist Gwen Parkinson.

From 2015's "We Are Still Here" are the ghosts of Eloise & Fiona Dagmar.

From 2001's "Valentine", it's Adam Carr here to ruin your February.

From the bonkers, but still super fun Indonesian flick, "Pengbadi Setan" (or "Satan's Slave" as it was released here), it's Herman, the bloody-headed, piano playin' ghoul.

From "The Phantom Planet" it's the forlorn looking spindly aliens that specialize in grabbing shoulders and carrying fainting women, the Solarite.

From the horror/comedy "Wacko", it's Dick Harbinger. Not the best flick, it has its moments (some of them - sporadically), but it is the awesome Joe Don Baker dressed up as a giant Pumpkinhead, so that's something at least.

The inimitable Peter Lorre in one of his earlier roles as Dr. Gogol from 1935's "Mad Love".

From the underrated "Hellraiser: Bloodlines", it's the real villain in all of this, Duc De L'Isle.

Christopher Lloyd as the infamous Judge Doom in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".

Lumpy the Gingerbread Man, a minion of Krampus.

Little nuclear infected Ellen Chandler from 1980's "The Children" just wants to hug her Mommy & Daddy to melt them into goo, is that such a bad thing?

The late, great Stephen Furst as Junior Keller from 1980's "The Unseen".

From the "Feast" trilogy it's the vicious and constantly horned out Feast Beast. P.S. - all three of the flicks are an absolute blast.

The always great Octavia Spencer as Sue Ann Ellington in "Ma".

From the kind-of-remake of "Night Of Horror", this is the Confederate Colonel Zombie from "Curse Of The Screaming Dead".

From 2019's "Haunt", 3 of the ghouls (Devil, Clown & Ghost) in the worst/best haunted house ever have been recruited into "Monsters & Maniacs"
