Ed Wood, bad master of horror tv

Finally, someone put Ed Wood's tv horror pilot on YouTube. Raise high that "Final Curtain":

Here's a little context:

Less than a year after filming Plan 9 Wood wrote, produced and directed “Final Curtain”, the pilot for a horror anthology series to be called Portraits of Terror. It’s as absurd, pretentious and just plain bad as anything Wood ever did, but is less than 23 minutes long; the star is Duke Moore and its narrator Dudley Manlove (both from Plan 9), but look for Wood himself (under a pseudonym) as the only other on-screen character.

(Actually, I don't know how long this has been available. I just can't resist sharing the glory of Wood.)

Many thanks. This is amazing!

I had never known that Ed Wood made anything for television, and now I do :) And I am relieved to know that he carried his love of free stock footage from one medium to another.
