- TriviaWhen Wade Williams acquired the rights to Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957) in 1982, Edward D. Wood Jr.'s widow, Kathy Wood, told him this never-released film was being held by a post-production house because the lab fees hadn't been paid. Williams paid the fees and acquired this film, finally releasing it 23 years after it was filmed.
- GoofsIn the scene that features the two teenagers in the car, the film suddenly speeds up tremendously. The whole scene was shot in 1910s silent film style.
- Quotes
Patrolman Paul Kelton: Monsters! Space people! Mad doctors! They didn't teach me about such things in the police academy! And yet that's all I've been assigned to since I became on active duty! Why do I always get picked for these screwy details all the time? I resign.
Capt. Robbins: Kelton, so help me, if you don't get the hell outta here-...
Patrolman Paul Kelton: You're all against me. The whole police force is against me! The whole CITY is against me! I resign!
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits Tom Mason is credited as Thomas R. Mason, in the closing credits as Tom Mason.
- Alternate versionsThe original title, "Revenge of the Dead, was filmed and appeared on the original print. The replacement title "Night of the Ghouls" was added when Wade Williams bought and distributed the movie in video in the 1980s, as well as the phrase "Wade Williams presents".

Featured review
"Monsters To Be Pitied! Monsters To Be Despised!"...
NIGHT OF THE GHOULS opens with the indefatigable, inimitable, formerly interred, Criswell, speaking his incredible words of prescient prophecy! Juvenile delinquency is out of control! We see before us the stock footage that proves Criswell's precognitive genius!
Suddenly, the mysterious, goggle-eyed black ghost (Jeannie Stevens) appears like a spiritous specter in the night, resulting in a scream, and a deadly death! Police investigate the tale of unrelenting terror! An old man (Harvey B. Dunn) and his wife tell of the finger-wriggling white ghost (Valda Hansen), a phe-male phantom as mystically mysterious as the black ghost!
The cops have no idea what's going on, but neither do we! Obviously, utilizing his mammoth brain to write this script while he directed it, Maestro Ed Wood dazzles with his improvisational prowess!
Behold! Dr. Acula (Kenne Duncan) is about to hold a seance. His turban tells us he means business!
Witness! The return of the dreaded, gaping Lobo (Tor Johnson)! Now disfigured, looking like a grimacing tuna casserole!
A man in a sheet saunters by, ignored by the surplus, plastic skeletons at the table. And, what of the man in the helmet? What is he trying to say? Is he in the right movie?
Can the cops crack this conundrum, while Criswell recites whatever pops into his head?
Lobo grunts, mumbles, and murmurs throughout! Objects float by! People roam aimlessly, as officer Kelton and Lt. Bradford (Paul Marco and Duke Moore) look for clues.
Then, the title plays into the shock finale!
This entire production cries out against the blindness of Hollywood, and its lack of respect for the Wood in its midst! My friends, cinematic mastery such as this comes along only once in a generation!...
