This is one of three Ed Wood documentaries I’ve seen. This one slightly edges out THE PLAN 9 COMPANION as the best of the three.
Packed with all kinds of interesting features, THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EDWARD D. WOOD, JR. was part of an all-Ed Wood box set that I bought for almost next to nothing – I believe the price was mismarked, so this was a particularly enriching find.
I’ve been fascinated with Ed Wood since I read about him in the Golden Turkey books.
The extra features include the last known interviews with Ed’s former business partner John Crawford Thomas and actors Paul Marco & Lyle Talbot, who were in several Wood Productions. Also there is the most complete print available of CROSSROADS AVENGER, a Western TV pilot Ed was trying to sell to any of the networks. A cast reunion of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE actors is highlighted as well.
If you can’t buy this DVD separately, then I think that it would be well worth the expense for you to purchase the entire box set. The other films you’ll get are: GLEN OR GLENDA?, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, NIGHT OF THE GHOULS, JAIL BAIT and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (which has the PLAN 9 COMPANION as a bonus feature). A must for any Wood/bad movie fan.
