Necromania

Necromania (sometimes subtitled A Tale of Weird Love) is a pornographic horror film by Ed Wood, released in 1971. It was produced, written, directed and edited entirely by Wood. The screenplay was based on Wood's own novel, The Only House.

A young couple, Danny and Shirley Carpenter, drives up to an old mansion in suburban California. They knock first, then enter through the unlocked door. They bicker over the decision to enter unannounced. In a room decorated with occult-related items and containing a coffin, Danny and Shirley are greeted by Tanya. They are there to see necromancer Madame Heles (pronounced "heals") for a solution to Danny's erectile dysfunction. Tanya leads them to a room prepared for their stay. When left alone, the Carpenters resume bickering over their sexual dysfunction. They fail to notice Tanya's eyes watching them through the holes in a painting.

Tanya returns to the room with the coffin and sexually stimulates herself by a ritual of sex magic. Speaking to the coffin, Tanya informs someone that their suspicions were correct; the Carpenters are not married. The significance of this information is not explained. Tanya leaves the room and encounters a man called Carl, who demands to have sex with her, claiming that he paid plenty to be the first to have her. Tanya makes clear that she does not have to service him, but does so anyway out of pity for his sexual frustration.

Back in their room, the Carpenters have their own sexual session, perhaps in an attempt at self-healing. Danny cannot achieve a full erection, however, leaving Shirley unsatisfied. She leaves the room in search of something to satisfy her needs. She is startled by a stuffed wolf in the corridor. Another young woman in a nightgown approaches Shirley and explains that this wolf died of rabies. The woman introduces herself as Barb, an "inmate" of Madame Heles. She compliments Shirley on her beauty, and starts petting her, leading to sex between the two.

Danny wakes up from a nap and heads out to search for Shirley. Barb and Shirley have moved their lovemaking to another bedroom. Danny instead meets Tanya, who leads him to yet another bedroom and seduces him. Two parallel sex scenes follow. The lesbian one is depicted as mutually satisfying, while the heterosexual one only benefits Danny. Tanya leads Danny to a window, where group sex is seen through a prism. Tanya explains that not all people react to "the treatment" successfully. The people depicted through the window are those who will never find satisfaction in their sex lives, as some want too much and others too little. Danny realizes that his own reaction to the treatment was not the proper one. Tanya assures him that he is not like them, since they are lost forever; they can never return to a world which will reject them.

Tanya and Barb lead their lovers to the room with the coffin. Danny and Shirley seem hostile to each other. Tanya and Barb kneel before the coffin and have sex. In reaction, Shirley swoons, while Danny groans in displeasure. The sexual ritual summons Madame Heles from her coffin. Heles asks about the progress of her two newest students. Barb praises Shirley's prowess; in response, Heles proclaims that Shirley will henceforth live for sex alone.

As Shirley walks away with Barb, Danny is left behind. Tanya declares that they still have some work to do on him. Heles proclaims that he needs her personal sex teachings. Barb and Carl enter the room. They help Tanya restrain Danny and take off his clothes. They force him to enter Heles' coffin and then depart. At first, Danny screams, but then he enjoys his healing session with Heles.

Ed Wood produced, wrote, and directed the film under the pseudonym "Don Miller". The title seems to imply necrophilia, but the content implies an obsession with Death. The film was based on the novel The Only House (1970), also written by Wood. Rob Craig observes that certain elements of the original story were "slavishly" adapted, while others were altered or removed in their entirety. For example, in the novel the rituals of sex magic are depicted in detail, and the Carpenters are actually married, not pretending to be.
