So what was Ed Wood's problem, then? Do you think he was simply a "bad" director? Or was it the fact that he had little experience, almost no budget, and felt compelled to add roles simply for star appeal? I mean, obviously Bela Lugosi belonged in Glen or Glenda and Vampira in Plan 9. Or did people simply not get what he was trying to do? In the last post, zombie84 mentioned timing was essential to George Lucas's success. Do you think the same could have been true for Ed Wood?
