Kudos once again to the
Ohio County Public Library.
I borrowed “The Haunted World of Edward D. Wood, Jr.” last eve and it is the best of all the documentaries about Ed Wood.
I’d like to make an Ed Wood DVD suggestion, if it has not yet been acquired, for the library to get Tim Burton’s Academy Award winning film, starring Johnny Depp,
“ED WOOD.”
Best Regards,
Tor
