There is no direct link to "Plane 9" article? Is there any reason for this? --achab 13:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Perhaps a quote section should be added, having seen the movie quite a few times there a lot of memorable and funny quotes throughout the movie that I would be more than happy to add to.

[edit] Factual Inaccuracies

Shouldn't we move it down a bit perhaps? 83.67.217.254 19:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Berle or Skelton?

The incident mentioned in the Bela Lugosi Factual Inaccuracies section is stated to have occurred on the Milton Berle Show, but the Bela Lugosi WP article says that it occurred on the Red Skelton Show. Here is the exact quote from the Bela Lugosi article: Late in Lugosi's life, comedian Red Skelton invited Lugosi to appear on a live CBS telecast. As was depicted in the Tim Burton film Ed Wood, Lugosi (portrayed by Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning role) had learned the script for a skit and was confused when Skelton began to ad lib. However, Burton, did not actually identify the comedian in the biopic, although the events depicted were correct. Hi There 12:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] At Worst or At Best?

The Bela Lugosi Factual Errors section contains the following statement: Lugosi never expressed his opinion of Boris Karloff. At best, they could be called professional rivals, but certainly not enemies. This is simply incorrect usage; I have changed "at best" to "at worst". Hi There 12:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
