Movie Reviews of The Ed Wood Box (Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster / Plan 9 from Outer Space / Night of the Ghouls / The Haunted World of Ed Wood)
Movie Review: no captions or subtitles
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this box set from Amazon.com. Despite the "Product Details" section stating that this DVD set is closed-captioned, there are no captions or subtitles. Other hearing-impaired viewers need to decide for themselves, before purchasing, how important or not this feature is.
Having said that, I've so far watched "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (missing bits of dialogue) and got quite a laugh out of it. This movie is a bungled execution of a rather bizzare story - aliens bringing Earth's dead back to life to prevent an even more scientifically implausible event in the distant future. Effeminate aliens, cheap special effects, continuity problems, cemetery grave stones made of cardboard, vampire characters in a movie that really isn't about vampires - the list goes on. And just how did Criswell (narrator who opens the movie) get his hair like that???

Summary of The Ed Wood Box (Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster / Plan 9 from Outer Space / Night of the Ghouls / The Haunted World of Ed Wood)
Weird! Wild! Wood! The most legendary B-movie director of all time, Edward D. Wood, Jr. assaulted audiences worldwide with a string of bizarre, no-budget fusions of horror, science fiction, noir and comedy. Now his oddball legacy is finally collected in one indispensable box set! Feast your eyes on his first feature, the madcap Glen or Glenda? in which Eddie himself portrays a transvestite struggling with his addiction to angora while Bela Lugosi offers inscrutable narration. Blackmail, outlaws on the run, and plastic surgery collide in the surreal crime drama Jail Bait, featuring a young Steve Reeves (Hercules), while Bela returns to create the Bride of the Monster in a heady collision of atomic experiments, a rampaging octopus and clumsy assistant Lobo (played by wrestler Tor Johnson). Wood's indisputable disasterpiece, Plan 9 from Outer Space, offers pie-plate flying saucers, incompetent alien leaders, all-seeing psychic Criswell, goth favorite Vampira and a post-mortem appearance by Lugosi himself in his last film role. Then Lobo and a phony spiritualist usher in a Night of the Ghouls at a spooky marsh filled with shuffling undead and wailing ghosts. Finally, learn all about the man himself with The Haunted World of Ed Wood, a comprehensive disc packed with interviews, film clips, TV rarities and much more! It's enough to make you scream!Drama DVD Video
