Biography

Best known as the body double for the deceased Bela Lugosi in Wood's 1957 movie Plan 9 from Outer Space, Mason, who was taller than and bore little physical resemblance to Lugosi, hunched over and held a cape over his face in all of his scenes.^[2]^[3] Mason appeared in (and helped produce) two of Ed Wood's other movies, including Night of the Ghouls and Final Curtain, after which his career in showbiz ended. Mason's wife, Margaret Mason, played the role of "Martha Edwards" in Night of the Ghouls as well.

Tom Mason died in Orange, California, in 1980, at age 60. His wife Margaret was one of the people interviewed in the 1992 Ed Wood documentary Flying Saucers Over Hollywood. (She died soon after the interview in 1992, at age 81.)^{[citation needed]}

Legacy

In 1994, Mason was portrayed in director Tim Burton's film Ed Wood by actor Ned Bellamy.^[4]
