Ed Wood In Drag (video)

Filmmaker Edward D. Wood, Jr. "came out" as a transvestite...

in his semi-autobiographical 1953 film GLEN OR GLENDA?

Here are some scenes of him in drag from that movie as well as clips from "Take It Out In Trade" (Something Weird Video) and home movie footage (Legend Films), both from the 70s.

Visible Clapper Blooper in "Manos: The Hands Of Fate" (1966) (video)

Many would consider this entire movie to be a blooper.

But even in a film of this dubious quality...

...a visible clapper is a bit much.

All The Hitler's Head Scenes From "THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN" (1963/68) (video)

Originally titled "Madmen of Mandoras", this 1963 film was renamed "They Saved Hitler's Brain" by its distributor...

...and released in 1968 with additional footage filmed by UCLA students which doesn't match the original film at all.

Needless to say, it is considered one of the worst films of all time, a claim that is augmented by the sight...

...of Hitler's living head in a glass jar, barking "Mach schnell! Mach schnell!"

The Dumbest Shark Scenes In "Jaws: The Revenge" (1987) (video)

(SPOILERS!)

In the fourth "Jaws" movie the Brody family is being stalked...

...by a vengeful shark who kills one Brody son...

and then follows the remaining Brodys from New York to the Bahamas.

Chief Brody is now dead (constant fear of sharks gave him a heart attack.)

But wife Ellen and son Michael are still defiantly anti-shark...

...and with Michael Caine's help, they confront the big, roaring monster shark.

Fortunately for bad movie fans, it's all as awful as it sounds.

All The Vampira Scenes In "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (1959) (video)

Vampira (aka Maila Nurmi) was a popular TV horror movie hostess in the 50s.

Filmmaker Ed Wood persuaded her to appear in his magnum opus, "Plan 9 From Outer Space."

She plays "Vampire Girl", an undead woman resurrected by space aliens.

Also in the cast are Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson...
...and a stand-in for the late Bela Lugosi.

The film didn't do much for Vampira's career at the time.

But bad movie fans would rediscover it decades later...
...and elevate it to the status of a revered classic.

All The Giant Turkey-Buzzard Puppet Scenes From "The Giant Claw" (1957) (video)

"The Giant Claw" is a passable 50s monster/sci-fi flick.

But it features one of the worst monsters of all time...

...the infamous giant turkey-buzzard puppet.

All The Narration: "Beast Of Yucca Flats" (1961) (video)

"Flag on the moon.  How did it get there?"

Easily the most noteworthy thing about this eccentric low-budget film...

...is its bizarre narration.

Monotone, redundant, and at times downright disorienting.

Cheapest Movie Set Ever? Cockpit Scene From "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (1959) (video)

In Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" (1994), the actor hired to play an airline pilot is dismayed by the sparse cockpit set.

In the actual film "Plan 9 From Outer Space", we find this to be no exaggeration.

Gregory Walcott (right) and co-pilot are sitting on chairs in front of a blank wall.

There appears to be a shower curtain hanging over the doorway.

Not sure what that is they're "steering" with.

Listen to those chairs creak.

It's an impressionistic set, to say the least.

Walcott, bless his heart, went on to have a fairly successful acting career.
