In 1996, Reverend Steve Galindo of Seminole, Oklahoma,
created a legally recognized religion with Ed Wood, who was posthumously
awarded the Golden Turkey Award for Worst
Director of All Time, as its official savior. Originally meant as a joke,
the Church of Ed Wood now boasts a congregation over 3,000 followers. Woodites,
as the church members are referred to, celebrate Woodmas on October 10, which
is Wood’s birthday. A number of parties and concerts are held throughout the
world in celebration of Woodmas each year. Wood is known for directing such low
budget films as Glen or Glenda 1953), Jail Bait (1954), Bride
of the Monster (1956) and Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957).Follow @frightfilmgeek
