Editorial Review:
Edward D. Wood Jr. (1924-1978) remains one of the best-remembered most talked-about directors in the history of cinema. He is a certifiable legend (well he was "certifiable" anyway). This fun and fascinating collection throws a spotlight on the man whose work personifies the phrase "so bad it s good." Here on two diabolical discs are six feature-length films written by and/or directed by and/or starring the unforgettable (or is it unforgivable?) Ed Wood. Plus the original documentary The Ed Wood Story including exclusive interviews with such luminaries as Dolores Fuller Bela Lugosi Jr. Martin Landau and Johnny Depp among others.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very Poor Quality - Don't be fooled by price
This collection is absolutely awful. The quality of each print is terrible - probably from a public domain source. Images are fuzzy, during night scenes you can't see a thing, and there is the most irritating loud hiss on the audio track through out. Finally, the company has put an annoying "Ed Wood Collection" logo on the lower right of the picture that never goes away. Don't be fooled by the price (like I was). Let's face it - Ed Wood movies are not expensive. Pick the ones you really like ... Read More
Rating:  - NOT Widescreen
According to IMDB, at least two of these should be widescreen. They're not, in this release.
Rating:  - Essential Ed Experience...
THE ED WOOD COLLECTION is the perfect tribute to the maestro! Classics all! GLEN OR GLENDA- My personal favorite edwoodian nightmare. Bela Lugosi narrates in god-like fashion while Ed himself displays his love of angora! Dolores Fuller shows her depth as Ed's gal-pal. Even Satan makes a cameo! JAIL BAIT- The great Mr. Wood's take on gangsters with a super-twist ending that only an imbecile couldn't foresee! Awesome! BRIDE OF THE MONSTER- Bela's back as a mad scientist set to rule the world with a ... Read More
Rating: - Crass presentation
At the lower right corner of the screen there appears continuously throughout each movie the text, 'Ed Wood Collection'. These classic movies are in many ways short on craftsmanship, but that does not give the distributor license to deface them with crass self promotion.
Rating: - GREAT deal
I am not reviewing the movies themselves (as we know of their notoriety as "so-bad-they're-good flicks"), but the DVD collection itself.
I found this to be very much worth the nine dollars I spent for it, would've spent more. It is a simple 2-disc DVD compilation of Ed Wood's movies, including "Glen or Glenda", "Bride of the Monster", "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Jail Bait", along with a small collection of interviews with various people, including Johnny Depp, Tim Burton and Dolores ...
