I can't personally understand anyone saying Ed Wood is a bad director. I'm not saying people have to say his films are good, but criticisizing him as a director seems silly: All his films look great... good lighting, everything in focus, great sound, etc. The plots weren't really any more hoaky than most of the other b-movies coming out at about the same time, his films just had more interesting and amusing editing and were more genuinely entertaining. That's why he's so highly remembered. If his films were TRUELY bad, like Redneck Zombies-type bad, no one would care. He's accessibly "bad", I guess. As a director, he was actually quite inspired. The floating trumpets in Night of the Ghouls is unbelievable!!! This guy really knew how to make compelling images. Ahead of his time, for real.
