Widely regarded as the worst film ever made, the Ed Wood classic Plan 9 from Outer Space is on its way to Blu-ray so you can see all those cardboard sets come to life in glorious 1080p!
Look for the flick starring Bela Lugosi, Gregory Walcott, Tom Keene, Mona McKinnon, Duke Moore, and Carl Anthony in stores on March 6, 2012 from Legend Films. No word yet on special features if any at all.
"This is it! The most popular Atomic Age cult film of the twentieth century. Winner of two Golden Turkey Awards for Worst Picture and Worst Director of All Time, the immortal Edward D. Wood, Jr.! It's all here, the not-so-special effects, aliens in skating skirts zooming around in string-powered flying saucers to implement the ninth plan of Earth's conquest (the first eight failed) with an army of zombies (well, three actually), Vampira, Tor Johnson and Bela Lugosi in...

The story goes that at the time of his passing in 1956, Bela Lugosi was grasping a script called Final Curtain, penned by pal Ed Wood. Final Curtain was a television pilot for an anthology series to be called Portraits Of Terror, intended to be a Twilight Zone-esque theater of the bizarre. While Lugosi would miss the boat, Wood ended up shooting the show in 1957 with a cast made up of Duke Moore, Dudley Manlove, and Jeannie Stevens. The 22-minute short concerned a cop who makes the mistake of investigating a mysterious theater late at night while on solo patrol.
Nothing became of the show, and while Wood would go on to many other projects, including his career-defining Plan 9 From Outer Space in 1959, Final Curtain was something the director often brought up, sharing footage with his friends and hangers-on, dreaming of what could have been. One of those friends was actor Paul Marco,...

Many people have a “funny uncle,” some eccentric, older blood relation or larger-than-life, close family friend. But few are funnier than Jason Insalaco’s late, great-uncle Paul Marco.
Marco was a close friend of the director Ed Wood and played a character called “Kelton the Cop” in three of the much derided auteur’s movies, including 1959′s infamously terrible Plan 9 From Outer Space. Not that Marco himself believed there to be anything wrong with the film or the cinematic chops of his pal Wood.
“Paul was his right hand man and they would socialize a lot,” recalls Insalaco, who...
