After finishing up his legendarily bad Plan Nine From Outer Space, Ed Wood embarked on a sequel of sorts- Revenge of the Dead. He completed the film in 1959 and sent the print to be processed into film. Sadly, Ed ran out of money and was never able to pay the processing company its fees. The company held the print hostage until it was paid in full. Ed never forgot the film and often spoke about it, but many film historians doubted its existence. Ed had a knack for lying about projects, making them sound bigger or more impressive than they were. Many people believed that he had written the script for the film, but had never actually filmed it.
In the mid-1980's, however, schlock film aficionado Wade Williams decided to hunt down a copy of the film. He carefully researched where Ed might have taken the film and bingo! He found it. Paying the processing fees plus interest, Wade now had a copy of Ed's long lost horror film. It was terrible, much like his other films, but now the world was able to see Ed's long lost film- 25 years after it had been thought lost.
