[edit] Biography

Ed Wood was created by celluloid scientist and part time magician Timothy "Tiny Tim" Burtoni, who gave him the name of Edwardius Dee Holzenberg III. Most of his body parts were of Romanian descent. His creator often dressed him up in girly clothing. Skirts, dresses, stockings, angora sweaters, pants, pyjamas; nothing was too sexy for the Wood. It is often theorized that this is why Wood grew up to become a transylvanian.

At the age of 35, Edward was given a Kodak movie camera, but joined the army by accident before he could put it to much use. It is a well-known fact that while fighting in World War II, Edward was less afraid of dying than he was of wearing male undergarments.

After the war, Edward joined the circus to appear as a sideshow freak. His act consisted of eating living trees. Presumably because this wasn't freakish enough, he later became a double transvestite. Dressing up as a woman first, quickly followed by dressing up as a man once again. The circus audience loved this act so much, that his star rose to incredible heights, and so did his wood. The next logical step for Eddy was to make a career in showbusiness, thus becoming a director of scientific porno and softcore fiction.

Edward met actor Béla "The Count" Lugosi in a café on the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Sesame Street in 1956. Ed convinced him to star in his new film Planet 9 Fromage Space, which was to be set on the moon. Sadly enough, Lugosi was killed in a bicycling accident the next day. Wood, who already shot some scenes with Lugosi that very morning, subsequently hired an obvious stand-in to complete filming.

Wood would often employ the same group of people in his films. He was often surrounded by vampires, including Vampira, Blacula and Count Orlok, who is best known for his role in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens.
