...strictly because Bela Lugosi died while reading the script! I imagine had he not he'd have played The Actor and considering his final screen appearance would be Wood's epic-ally appalling "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (he was dead before that film was ever made but Wood had stock footage of him he inserted just to use his name!), this would have been a better "final curtain".
While slow even for 20 minutes, the mood created by the cinematographer and Wood is exceptionally better than anything I have seen by Wood.
I agree with many reviews here who say the narration was over the top and took away some of that mood. Nonetheless, an enjoyable short for fans of Wood and Lugosi. A great "what if?" had Bela lived.
