Ed Wood

Plan 9 from Outer Space Vampira Poster 24x34 – BananaRoad — Movie poster for *Plan 9 from Outer Space* directed by Ed Wood. I have seen this movie, but it has been more than 20 years, and I do not remember even a little bit what it is about. But I think I had this poster in my college dorm room. Or first apartment. Or both?

Often cited as the worst director of all time, but still beloved for his campy sci-fi horror movies and his work with Bela Lugosi, Ed Wood was born on October 24, 1924. Friday. Leap year.
