Description:
Rereleased to coincide
with Ed Wood, a Tim Burton movie based on the book, this authoritative
underground biography brings to life the renegade filmmaker who broke new
ground in absurd supernatural horror and campy suspense. The author recalls the
'50s, when the invasion of movie houses by monsters became a national youth
craze.
The
portrayal of a brave, eccentric and sometimes insane film director, dubbed
"the worst director of all time" for his low-budget cult features.
The tale is told by those who lived and worked with him - a motley collection
of dead-beats and losers who lived on the fringes of Hollywood.
