Favorite Ed Wood/Al Adamson movies?

[Memphremagog]

Both Ed Wood & Al Adamson are known for producing some real schlockfests during their heydays, however, some of their stuff can actually be quite entertaining if not taken too seriously. Do you have some favorites from either of these gentlemen?

There are many credits for them, however, I have listed just the most prolific ones here..

Ed Wood:

Glen Or Glenda(1953)
Jail Bait(1954)
Bride Of the Monster(1955)
The Violent Years(1956)
Plan 9 From Outer Space(1956)
The Bride & the Beast(1958)
Night Of the Ghouls(1958)
The Sinister Urge(1961)
Orgy Of the Dead(1966)

Al Adamson:

Blood Of Dracula's Castle(1967)
Satan's Sadists(1969)
Horror Of the Blood Monsters(1970)
Five Bloody Graves(1970)
Dracula vs. Frankenstein(1971)
Brain Of Blood(1971)
Blood Of Ghastly Horror(1972) w/ footage from Adamson's Psycho-A-Go-Go in 1965..
Angel's Wild Women(1972)

Gotta go with plan 9   and Satan's Sadists.

Night of the Ghouls -- fun, weirdo spooky cemetery shenanigans...it looks a bit more like a real movie than Plan 9, and features a gaggle of ghosts, a murderous phony psychic, and Tor Johnson as Lobo.  Awesome.

Dracula vs. Frankenstein -- the bad film that redefined the bad film, a crazed, raving, rambling, higher level of bad that manages to be charming and extremely entertaining.

AH! Eddie Wood. Totally inept, totally enthusiastic, totally fun.

I have to go with Night of the Ghouls tied with Plan Nine, but Bride of the Monster is a very close second.
I find Glen or Glenda hypnotizing (and I don't wear women's clothing!)... maybe it's Timothy Farrell's monotone narration ("Modern man is a hard-working human," etc.). You just can't turn away.


By far my favorite Adamson production is Dracula vs. Frankenstein, followed closely by Horror Of the Blood Monsters. Satan's Sadists is a fun romp but not to my tastes the way the others are.

I think my own choices would be:

Ed Wood: Plan 9, Bride and the Beast, Jail Bait, The Sinister Urge & Orgy Of the Dead.

Al Adamson: Blood Of Dracula's Castle, Dracula vs. Frankenstein, Brain Of Blood & Horror Of the Blood Monsters.
