Penned in 1974 by the late great Angora Lord of Cinema Ed Wood, the film was originally supposed to star Aldo Ray in Zane's role as the madman, John Carradine as the undertaker, and John Agar and David Ward as policemen. It was also to be devoid of dialogue, with only screams, laughter, music and incidental sounds. Y'know, Zane's a cool enough guy to do this. He's got it safe just sticking to the leading men/cruel-but-swarthy-looking-rich fiancee roles, but he's taking this project on also as a producer. Ya gotta admire him for his originality. CA columnist "Widgett" hopes Bud Cort plays the undertaker, because that "would be priceless." Rumors: Unknown. Scoop Feedback: [Page draft submitted by 'Widgett' while wearing an angora sweater.] |
