Filmmaker Ed Wood on This Day in History

 
Plan 9  (Colorized)

This Day in History: Filmmaker Ed Wood was born on this day in 1924. When the Golden Turkey Awards was published in 1980, it declared Ed Wood's movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (1956) the worst film of all time. This rating then gave Ed Wood's film new life and a new following as a result. There was also an Ed Wood movie in 1994 starring Johnny Depp as a result. Wood's 1953 movie "Glen or Glenda" was also considered one the worst movies of the 1950's. 

Since then many other bad movies have been made, and some that are considered the worst are Gigli (2003), The Room (2003), Epic Movie (2007), I Know Who Killed Me (2007), The Last Airbender (2010), Jack and Jill (2011), That's My Boy (2012) Dirty Grandpa (2016), Cats (2019) etc.
