Illustrator Danny Hellman is marking the birthday of Edward Davis Wood Jr., the cult filmmaker born October 10, 1924, with a 1994 illustration created for The Met. Wood, famous for low-budget films like Plan 9 from Outer Space, is widely remembered as one of the worst directors in Hollywood history, which gave him lasting cult fame. Tim Burton's 1994 biopic 'Ed Wood' renewed interest in his life.
Why now: The anniversary of Ed Wood's birth is prompting film fans to share tributes and artwork about the cult director.
