Welcome to Adventures in B-Movie Land, the monthly column where I take a look at some of the strangest, cheapest and worst films ever made … and explore why you have to see them. Look for new entries during the second week of every month.
** The Motion Pictures: **
‘Glen or Glenda’ (1953), ‘Jail Bait’ (1954), ‘Bride of the Monster’ (1955), ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ (1958) and ‘Night of the Ghouls’ (1959).
** Also Known As…**
‘I Led Two Lives,’ ‘He or She?,’ ‘I Changed My Sex,’ ‘The Hidden Face,’ ‘Bride of the Atom,’ ‘Graverobbers From Outer Space’ and ‘Revenge of the Dead.’
** Featuring the Talented…**
The legendary (and at the time, completely forgotten) Bela Lugosi, the incomprehensible Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson, the incredibly inaccurate psychic Criswell, Wood’s long-suffering girlfriend Dolores Fuller, Ed Wood himself and a true cavalcade of amazing weirdos.
** What Are They?**
A collection of some of the worst films ever made, spanning from science fiction schlock to horror knock-offs to staid crime thrillers to semi-educational, exploitative looks at sex change and transvestism. Each of them are awful, unintentionally hilarious and infinitely charming and lovable in their B-movie dopiness, proof that even the worst films ever made can ooze personality and energy.
