Rudolph Grey is a musician and the biographer of filmmaker Ed Wood.[1]

As an electric guitarist, Grey has recorded and performed with Mars,[2] under his own name, as well as leading various ad hoc ensembles called The Blue Humans.[3] His music draws on no wave and free jazz.

Grey is also a motion picture historian and has written Nightmare of Ecstasy (1992), a biography of Ed Wood, the director of notoriously awful cult films. Tim Burton's film Ed Wood was based on Grey's book.

In 2001, Grey rediscovered a copy of Ed Wood's final feature-length film, Necromania, which had been presumed to be lost, in a Los Angeles warehouse.[4]

In 2011, Grey produced a one-hour documentary called Dad Made Dirty Movies, about the life and career of 1960s porn film producer Stephen Apostolof, detailing his co-productions with filmmaker Ed Wood.[5]
