Ed Wood's long lost film, 'Take It Out on Trade', to receive Blu Ray release

After remaining unseen for almost 50 years, Ed Wood's 'Take It Out On Trade' is being remastered from the original 16mm for release in theaters and Blu Ray.

A long-lost film by legendary, cult B-movie maker Ed Wood will be coming to screens across the world this fall. Shot in just three days (no surprises there) during January of 1970, 'Take It Out on Trade' has remained unseen for almost 50 years, but is now finally coming to the big screen as well as receiving a receive via Blu Ray/DVD.

The release comes thanks to Alamo Drafthouse’s American Genre Film Archive, the largest non-profit genre film archive in the world, and Something Weird. After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, AGFA purchased a film scanner to create new digital transfers of titles from the Something Weird library. 'Take It Out in Trade' is the fifth release of dozens in this partnership, following 'The Zodiac Killer,' 'Bat Pussy,' Ed Wood’s 'The Violent Years,' and 'Godmonster of Indian Flats.'
