His character exaggerates certain aspects of Wood's real personality, and it's so much more beautiful than the already captivating reality.Īside from Don himself, Wood is the definition of quixotic.

It is without a doubt, my favorite movie of all time.

More so, however, I love the movie it inspired, Tim Burton's 1994 classic Ed Wood. He also gets Halloween like no one else.Īs a concept, I suggested taking a cue from the worst movie ever made, Plan 9 From Outer Space (And before you correct me, yes, I know that the cover actually portrays characters from Robot Monster and King of the Rocketmen, but just bear with me).įor all its flaws, I love Plan 9 deeply (as does Kosobucki, not to mention fellow contributors Brad Pattullo and Forest Taylor). A friend of mine since college, Mark is one of the most talented illustrators I've had the pleasure to work with. For more than a decade, 'Monster' Mark Kosobucki has been providing the art for our Halloween issue, and this year is no exception. Perhaps you've noticed, but this is our de facto Halloween issue, being in October and all. I hope I've made a difference for the better. It's been so much more than a paycheck for me - being able to boost up local musicians, artists, and businesses has been something I wouldn't trade for anything. For the better part of a decade, I have lived and breathed this job. The past six years in which I've served as managing editor have been nothing short of incredible. While I'm looking ahead with eager eyes toward what the future holds, now seems to be the proper time to get a little sentimental about the past, and I love to get sentimental. It's still right here in town I'm just shifting ever so slightly, trading editing for marketing. In the meantime, I've accepted another position. So? You ask, why are there B-movie creatures on the cover? I'll get to that soon. This is being written by Nick Warren, managing editor of the Erie Reader, and it's the last time I'll be able to say that. For all its flaws, and there were enough to garner the dubious distinction of Worst Movie Ever Made, Plan 9 from Outer Space (seen here with Dudley Manlove, Tor Johnson, Bunny Breckinridge, and Joanna Lee) won the hearts of audiences regardless, most famously Director Tim Burton and Erie Reader Managing Editor Nick Warren.Īllow me to drop the veil of 'the Editors' for the moment.
