"Necromania, the long-lost final movie of Ed Wood, considered the
worst filmmaker of all time, has been rediscovered, the Reuters news
service reported. The 1971 movie is a porn film documenting the sexual
enlightenment of a young couple at the hands of a coven of witches,
the news service reported.
Wood, who created Bride of the Monster and Plan 9 From Outer Space,
was the subject of Tim Burton's 1994 film, which starred Johnny Depp
as the maligned moviemaker.
Necromania was filmed over two or three days with a budget of no more
than $7,000, and the only copies went missing soon after it was made,
Reuters reported. Rudolph Grey, author of a biography of the director,
and a fellow Ed Wood enthusiast, movie distributor Alexander Kogan,
unearthed Necromania in a warehouse in Los Angeles after more than 15
years of detective work. A year ago they contacted the editors of a
pornography Web site called Fleshbot, which this week will start
selling the DVD by mail order for $19.99. The DVD will feature two
versions of the film, one soft-core, the other more explicit, Reuters
reported."
