====''Final Curtain''====
In 1957, Wood wrote and directed a pilot for a suspense-horror TV series called ''Portraits in Terror'' that ultimately failed to sell. The pilot, entitled ''[[Final Curtain (film)|Final Curtain]]'', sees an old and world-weary actor wandering in an empty theatre, imagining ghosts and a living mannequin haunting the backstage area, until he realizes that he himself is dead. The episode has no dialogue, and Dudley Manlove narrates the thoughts of Duke Moore as the actor. Lugosi would have starred in this short film had he lived. Parts of the unsold pilot were later recycled for use in Wood's ''[[Night of the Ghouls]]'' (1959). The episode was thought to be lost until a complete print was located {{circa|2010}}. It was remastered and given its first ever cinema showing in a theater in February 2012. Today it is widely available online and on DVD.
