From IMDB:
Ed Wood (Jr.) (10 October 1924 – 10 December 1978) was an American screenwriter, director, producer, actor, author, and editor, who often performed many of these functions simultaneously. In the 1950s, Wood made a run of cheap and poorly produced genre films, now humorously celebrated for their technical errors, unsophisticated special effects, large amounts of ill-fitting stock footage, idiosyncratic dialogue, eccentric casts and outlandish plot elements, although his flair for showmanship gave his projects at least a modicum of critical success.
Wood's popularity waned soon after his biggest 'name' star, Béla Lugosi, died. He was able to salvage a saleable feature from Lugosi's last moments on film, but his career declined thereafter. Toward the end of his life, Wood made pornographic movies and wrote pulp crime, horror, and sex novels. His posthumous fame began two years after his death, when he was awarded a Golden Turkey Award as Worst Director of All Time. The lack of conventional film making ability in his work has earned Wood and his films a considerable cult following.

Roger William Corman (born April 5, 1926), sometimes nicknamed "King of the Bs" for his output of B-movies, is a prolific American producer and director of low-budget movies, some of which have an established critical reputation: many of his films derived from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe.
Corman has apprenticed many now-famous directors, stressing the importance of budgeting and resourcefulness; Corman once joked he could make a film about the fall of the Roman Empire with two extras and a sagebush.

Both directors failed at writing and directing. The actors were awful...The concepts were terrible. The movies werent good at all by ANY standards. Hollywood gave birth to great movies like The Wizard of Oz...The Maltese Falcon...FUCKIN FLUBBER!!! These movies are god awful! Shout out to Glen or Glenda: WTF. It's not that outrageous!! >_> They were bad movies and they really didnt do anything but make me laugh.

Ed Wood seemed to star Bela Lugosi and Tori Johnson. Seems to have a lot of sci-fi ideas for his films like in Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster, and Plan Nine from Outer Space. The films showed the run of cheap and poorly producing. I can understand why he was awarded a Golden Turkey Award as Worst Director of All Time. Roger William Corman Produced horror and romance together. His films look like a best collection to hold for Halloween night, with a bag of popcorn. A lot of things you never thought would happen, It just look retardedly stupid at the most part of things that could either be gross or have you cracking up at just the ideas that were thought of in this film. Samuel Z. Arkoff,
The Beast With A Million Eyes seemed to not make a lot of sense. You can tell this movie was low budget and fake. This is one film I did not understand. He took this films and made it appealing, A lot of his characters were attractive enough to realize the monsters that just looked so “ugh”, not satifying enough for my low budget film taste. To me Roger William is the best of all time.
