An actor wanders around a darkened, empty theater and over reacts to things...there's the whole movie for you. Now you don't have to waste 20 minutes. Okay it's not quite THAT boring and I know Ed Wood fanatics are going to want to see it. After all, my fanaticism is what brought me to watch this TV pilot. The lead actor is not exactly terrible, but he has nothing to work with! The narration by Dudley Manlove is just atrocious, but some viewers may find that charming. The few scares that are present are on par with a Scooby Doo episode, but I believe Wood put a little horror twist on the ending which I did enjoy. The twist I refer to is alluded to in the prologue - "Even the Devil rejects them. Doomed to haunt the Earth throughout the endless reaches of time". Even I gotta admit, that's pretty damn cool. It would have been nice to see what would have come from an Ed Wood anthology horror series, but as a TV exec I probably would have passed on this pilot as well.
