Drown the Devil

Instead of rehashing the many stories and characterizations of Ed Wood's movie making and supposed queer lifestyle, Drown the Devil offers a spiritual-biographical and theological perspective. Research into Ed's business dealings with Southern Baptists reveals another side of his personal life frequently neglected to promote the mythical and seedy sides of his work and personality. There aren't enough lies that can be told to make Ed Wood into a "saint" like the ones who jeered and chased him out of the church in the mid 1950s. There is enough evidence to say that Ed Wood was a Christian who suffered greatly in both his professional and personal choices. We finally get to hear what God thinks about Edward D. Wood, Jr. and the lasting implications of his legacy beyond his film catalogue. Angel Scott is a graduate of Luther Seminary in St Paul. She is currently serving as Chaplain to those at end of life. Researching the religious and spiritual lives of Hollywood's B-movie and finest stars and collecting memorabilia serve as her selfcare.
