April 4, 1953 –
While not quite in the same league as Plan 9 from Outer Space, and shot in just four days, the Ed Wood Jr. ‘classic‘, Glen or Glenda, premiered on this date (or maybe it didn’t, but does it really matter.)
While the film had no sequel, Edward D. Wood Jr. used the character Glen/Glenda again in two of his novels. In the novel, Killer in Drag, Glen/Glenda has become a serial killer. In its sequel Death of a Transvestite, Glen/Glenda is executed.
