Ed Wood is considered by many to be the worst Film Maker in the history of Movies. 

A damaging tag, for a director, writer, producer, cinematographer and actor, who just wanted to 
be known as a film maker. This reputation would follow him the rest of his life, only adding to 
his sad decline from Horror / Sci-fi Flicks to tawdry and tasteless Porno Films.

Ed was to use many pseudonyms in his career, mainly for writing credits. They were Johnny 
Carpenter (II), Daniel Davis (III), Edward Davis (III), Don Miller (II), Akdon Telmig, Akdov 
Telmig and Ed Wood. Ed's Filmography is quite extensive. In his career Ed wrote over 30 
scripts, a total of 39 (including Novels). He also directed 16 known films (Including shorts), 
and acted in 12 of his own films.

"Glen or Glenda" was Ed's coming out film. Not coming out as in premiere but coming out as in 
coming out of the closet. Ed was transvestite. Glen or Glenda was Ed Wood's feelings and 
thoughts, his life on film. Ed's Girlfriend at the time Dolores Fuller played that role in the 
film. In the movie as was in real life she often wondered why her cashmere sweaters were 
stretched. Hmmm?

Guys,Girls,Guns,Satin undies and Electrode Animated Corpses - ed's Films had it all. 

Classic film titles, such as: "Night of the Gouls", "Orgy of the Dead", "Bride of the Monster", 
"Necromania" and his most famous film "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Ed shot Bride of the Monster 
on a budget of  $12,000 and finished shooting in only 7 days. During the making Ed ran out of 
money and had to stop shooting. Lucky for Ed he ran into a rather wealthy Meat Packer named 
Donald McCoy who backed the film. Donald agreed as long as his son Tony Mc Coy could play the 
lead. During the making due to financial ups and downs and the need for a Monster for the film,  
the crew broke into Republic Studios late one night and stole a mechanical Octopus, but in 
their haste forgot to take the mechanics with them; which now leaves us with one of the 
funniest pieces of film footage. This involves a Bela Lugosi (at this stage in his life rather 
sick from drugs) pretending to be attacked by the Monster as he grabs it's tentacles trying to 
make it look like it moves and while screaming for help from the murderous beast.

Another classic Ed Wood spectacular, was in Plan 9 From Outer Space when the attacking aliens 
having been beaten by the humans fly off in their burning wreck of a saucer. The look Ed 
achieved is something similar to two paper plates being doused in Turpentine, hung from a 
string and set alight to signify the UFO going up in flames. But all this is what makes Ed Wood 
films the Cult Classics they are now.

Sex Education, was Eddie's money making scheme in 1975.   Sex Education Correspondence School - 
Pendulum Publications /SECS Productions. A series of twelve super 8 films, approx. 20 minutes 
each, written and directed by Ed Wood and Charles Anderson. Ed also wrote several books delving 
into various desires and sexual appetites  namely "Bloodiest sex crimes of History", "Suburbia 
Confidential", The Gay Underworld", "Sex, Shrouds & Caskets",  "Sex Museum", "The Love of the 
Dead", "One, Two,Three", "A Study of the Sons & Daughters of Erotica", "Sexual Practices in 
Witchcraft & Black Magic", "Black Myth", "The sexual Woman, Book 2", "The Sexual Man, Book 2", 
"A Study of Fetishes & Fantasies", "A study in the Motivation of Censorship, Sex & the Movies, 
Book 1",  "A study in the Motivation of Censorship, Sex & the Movies, Book 2".   Most were 
written under pseudonyms as was the case for the pornographic/sexually explicit writers of the 
time.
