The Worst of Ed Wood Boxed Set

Description:
Is Ed Wood the worst director who ever lived? His films are campy, clumsy, and hysterically inept, but their enthusiasm and good humor overcome incoherent scripts and wooden performances with heart, soul, and an infectious sense of fun. The jaw-dropping "documentary" Glen or Glenda is a bizarre confessional starring Wood himself as a misunderstood transvestite and Bela Lugosi as a smirking godlike narrator. "Pull ze string!" shouts Lugosi as Wood reveals his angora fetish and love of women's underwear to the world. Jail Bait is a dime-store crime thriller with inspired moments of grimy film noir tension emerging from the wooden dialogue and flat, sitcom-looking "drama," all set to an annoying guitar and piano score borrowed from Mesa of Lost Women. Lugosi returns as a mad scientist revenging himself on the world ("Home? I have no home!") in Bride of the Monster, a howler of a horror picture. Tor Johnson, the hulking Swedish wrestler turned B-movie icon, made his first Wood appearance as the lumbering beast Lobo (he almost knocks over the set in one scene!) tamed by the touch of angora. Finally there's Wood's "masterpiece," the clumsy, nearly incoherent, ridiculously cheap Plan 9 from Outer Space. A tall, skinny, blond chiropractor subs for short, raven-haired Bela Lugosi (who died after a few days of shooting), cardboard gravestones wobble as the actors walk by, and night and day randomly come and go within the same scene. The DVD also features the documentary Flying Saucers over Hollywood, a portrait of Wood and a celebration of Plan 9 that is actually longer than the film itself! --Sean AxmakerGlen or Glenda? (1953, 67 min.) - He loved women so much, he dared to dress like one! With Bela Lugosi as the "puppet master" and director Ed Wood himself in the title role, this film is a wildly entertaining plea for acceptance in the world of sexual confusion. "Jail Bait" (1954, 70 min.) - Inspired by TV's "Dragnet," this Ed Wood film tells of a rich but troubled young man who kills a cop and has plastic surgery to hide his identity. Starring sex kitten Dolores Fuller and introducing a young Steve Reeves. "Bride of the Monster" (1956, 69 min.) - Dr. Eric Vornoff (Bela Lugosi), with his crazed man-beast servant Lobo, is conducting flesh-burning radiation experiments in an attempt to create a legion of atomic supermen in one of cult filmmaker Ed Wood's best efforts. "Plan 9 from Outer Space (Special Edition)" (1956, 78 min.) - This legendary turkey features aliens in skating skirts zooming around in string-powered flying saucers to conquer the Earth with an army of zombies (well, three actually). Includes the 111 min. documentary "Flying Saucers Over Hollywood."Is Ed Wood the worst director who ever lived?
