Season 3, Episode 8
Recorded Live March 14, 2023
The dead of night is alive with the dead! Or something... it's hard to tell what's actually going on in an Ed Wood movie, but Trace & Frank do their best with one of the lesser-known "Kelton" movies, and one of Wood's most baffling works overall: NIGHT OF THE GHOULS!
Available exclusively at Dumb Video, The Mads Are Back: Night of the Ghouls is Season 3, Episode 8 of Trace Beaulieu & Frank Conniff’s ongoing livestream series, hosted by Chris Gersbeck and featuring a post-film Q&A with musician Cat Popper. Recorded live March 14, 2023.
