CURVES AHEAD: PAT BARRINGTON + BONUS!


I guess you could consider the panty parade of topless dancers in Ed Wood's ORGY OF THE DEAD is the "highlight" of the film, that is, if it had one. They're all attractive, but they all look like they're on Thorazine, if you ask me.

My favorite of the bunch is the fabulous Pat Barrington playing a dual role as a blond and a redhead. Miss Barrington played in one other genre film, THE SATANIST in 1968 (and guess what--she was a dancer in that, too!). 

Barrington was also a popular pinup subject, and this pictorial in MAN'S LIFE from May 1969 claims she was the most popular cover girl in England. I always thought Harrison Marks had that market cornered, but maybe she was at the time.



Here's a link to a clip on DAILY MOTION that shows Pat Barrington doing what she did best: a striptease. From THE GIRL WITH THE HUNGRY EYES (1966): https://dai.ly/x7ttijl

BONUS!
A favorite of Ed Wood, the pop culture prognosticator Criswell appeared in ORGY OF THE DEAD and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. This two-page article from FOR MEN ONLY (September 1968) features excerpts from his book, CRISWELL PREDICTS with his divinations for the year 2000. A word of warning: Don't read these while holding a hot cup of coffee.
