This film was "rediscovered"? This is news to me.
I saw it about 10 years ago. Yawn.
Ed Wood started making soft porn in the mid 1960s. Truth be told, he
started his directing career (1946) making Westerns! Then he switched
to crime/drama (1951), then horror (1953), then soft porn...
Necromania was just as silly and unispired as the rest of his stuff.
