Ed Wood redirects here. For the film, see Ed Wood (film), and for the former British Foreign Secretary, see E. F. L. Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax. Edward Davis Wood, Jr. (October 10, 1924 – December 10, 1978) was an American motion picture producer, director, screenwriter, actor and editor (often performing many of these functions simultaneously). In the 1950s, Wood made a run of independently produced, extremely low-budget horror, science fiction and cowboy films, now celebrated for their technical errors, unsophisticated special effects, idiosyncratic dialogue, eccentric casts, and outlandish plot elements, although his flair for showmanship gave his productions at least a modicum of commercial success.
