New in October from Severin Films – HARD WOOD: The Adult Features of Ed Wood!

SEVERIN CELEBRATES ANGORA-LOVING AUTEUR WITH THREE-DISC BLU-RAY COLLECTION

HARD WOOD: THE ADULT FEATURES OF ED WOOD

Includes 3 Films Written/Directed by Wood, A Wood-Scripted Bonus Movie,

Plus 7+ Hours of Bonus Materials Featuring Bobcat Goldthwait, Dana Gould, Jonathan Ross & More

In celebration of his centennial, Severin Films honors iconic filmmaker Edward D. Wood, Jr. – “the man who defined the term ‘Outsider Artist’ before it was even coined” (Daily Grindhouse) – with HARD WOOD: THE ADULT FEATURES OF ED WOOD, a loaded 3-disc Blu-ray set featuring a trio of his lurid ‘70s adult features now restored uncut from the ultimate source elements for the first time ever.

Near the end of his career, the angora-loving auteur behind PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and GLEN OR GLENDA earned his booze funds by writing and directing explicit adult films, and this eye-popping set delivers three of the most memorable: NECROMANIA – in both hard and soft versions – stars Rene Bond and The Amazing Criswell’s coffin in a tale of weird love shot in two days by Ed while wearing a pink babydoll outfit. Uschi Digard stars in THE ONLY HOUSE IN TOWN, a softcore saga of nonsensical dialog and orgiastic depravity. Wood’s bizarre final film, the thought lost THE YOUNG MARRIEDS, is presented in hard and its never-before-seen soft versions.

As a Bonus, J. Pat O’Malley and William Schallert star in the Wood-penned hicksploitation rarity SHOTGUN WEDDING, plus over 7 hours of Special Features that include three separate audio commentaries, a conversation with Bobcat Goldthwait and Dana Gould produced exclusively for this collection, the North American disc debut of The Incredibly Strange Film Show – Ed Wood Jr., plus 9 vintage sex loops and much more.


What better way to honor Ed’s 100th Birthday than The Angora Raincoat Bundle? You get the HARD WOOD Collection, the Ed Wood-penned The Only House paperback from our friends at Encyclopocalypse Publications, and our exclusive Ed Wood pin – Severin Hall of Fame #31 – from Pixel Elixer, all for only $47!
