  NEW YORK (Reuters) -  Ed Wood won a cult following after his death and now fans can see his long-lost last film.

  
  

  The 1971 movie is a porn film documenting the sexual enlightenment of a young couple at the hands of a coven of witches.

  
  

  
  

  “Necromania” — the last film Wood directed — was filmed over two or three days with a budget of no more than $7,000 and the only copies went missing soon after it was made. The movie tells the story of Danny and Shirley, a young couple who visit the mysterious Madame Heles for help with their flagging sex life.
  

  Rudolph Grey, author of a biography of the director, and a fellow Ed Wood enthusiast, movie distributor Alexander Kogan, unearthed “Necromania” in a warehouse in Los Angeles after more than 15 years of detective work.
