Dana Gould’s connection to Ed Wood – both the movie and the man himself runs deep. He shares Wood’s love of monster horror, he auditioned to be in the Tim Burton film, and as he’s gotten older, he’s found himself relating to both the Ed and Bela Lugosi characters in new ways. Here, he shares those stories, plus how his inner Ed helped him bring his “Dr. Z” to life.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about her recent Hollywood Forever double feature.
