Ah, dead love. There's nothing like it.
Young, blond, lively and attractive, Lindsay (Wilcox) enjoys the company and pleasures of men...only, they're all embalmed corpses.
When the closeted necrophiliac meets handsome (& non necrophiliac) Waggoner, can the two find a way for their mixed marriage to work?
This is one crazy-perverse-offbeat-bizarre horror...and yet it somehow holds together, thanks to an early '70s grindhouse mood and a surprisingly sympathetic performance from the tortured Wilcox.
The rough death scene of a nude male prostitute on a mortician's table (don't ask) packs quite a wallop, while the downbeat depressing ending truly disturbs.
Plus, it's got a cool original ballad theme (titled "Love Me Deadly," what else?).
On the whole, worth seeking out.
Also known as Secrets of the Death Room.
