Long-Lost Final Film by Ed Wood Rediscovered

By Claudia Parsons

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Considered the worst film maker of all time, Ed Wood won a cult following after his death and now fans can see his long-lost last film "Necromania," a work some say shows he was so bad that he was brilliant.


For those not familiar with Ed Wood, his 1959 movie Plan 9 from Outer Space was the winner of the "Golden Turkey Award" as the worst movie of all time. It's a must see for people who enjoy... well... really good bad movies. It's not a bad movie in the same way that "Gigli" is a bad movie. Ed Wood had a strange style. The movie features Bela Lugosi (famous for portraying Dracula in the 30s and 40s) just before he died. Well, there is footage of Lugosi outside his house from before he died. But the character who Lugosi plays in the movie is actually played by someone else with a cape draped over his nose because Lugosi died before the movie was completed. In fact, if you can trust the movie Ed Wood, Lugosi died before Wood even started making the movie and just used some stock footage he had in the movie so he could say it was Lugosi's last film or something. Lugosi died in '56, the movie came out in '58 or '59.

Anyway, yeah... another Wood movie... and that statement is funny unto itself.
