"Beware! Beware! Beware of the big green dragon that sits on your doorstep. He eats little boys. Puppy dog tails and big fat snails. Beware, take care! Beware" HE WAS A GENIUS!!

This scene was actually kidna creepy in a bizarre way until out of nowhere "Pull the string! Pull the string!" Still even in Wood's films Bela Lugosi rules.

Ed Wood's movies are memorable for both the good and bad. Sure he's "infamous" for making a steady chain of "bad" (but hillarious) movies, but none of them are in the IMDB bottom 100. Now THOSE movies like "Manos: Hands of Fate", almost all the MST3K alumni and Gigli are a REAL pain to watch!

Not a mystery. Mr Lugosi was a forgotten actor in decadence at that time and he was happy to do any part offered to him to make a living. Drugs are bad, really bad man.

Bela is the more effective narrator despite not having a range as low as freeman his accent is more distinctive and makes you believe what ever line he’s reading. He can make anything sound horrifying and or epic. also which idiots missed the like button how can you hate on the definitive screen and stage Dracula.

I really don't understand what does "a big green dragon", puppy dog tails and big fat snails have anything to do with the main plot. Either way, Lugosi's the film's saving grace.

Why does he appear out of nowhere talking about green dragons?

Jaden Van Hess

Because Ed Wood was a bad writer.

Nicolas Cato Strode

Perhaps the green dragon is the sin of envy. In this case, the envy of being appreciated for femininity.
Green = color of envy.
Dragon = Associated with the devil and sin.
Doorstep = Waiting just beyond your safe place, a place you must guard from the evil spirits of the world.

I mean, watch the film. There will be more perplexing questions that arise than this.
If you do, remember I was the one to - PULL THE STRING!

Katiee Brown Bela Lugosi is an idiot? Hmm, I fail to see how an old man hired to do a schlock film in his later years qualifies as “Idiocy” but whatever.

John Charles Thomas:"And always on the front door mat, A most ferocious Dragon sat, It made such an awful shrieking noise So all you little girls and boys... Beware, take care," -That's the doorstep part. The only version of this song on You Tube is WEAK. The original was quite good.

The Green Eyed Dragon with the 13 tails was written in 1926 and sung on the radio By John Charles Thomas in the 30s. I've heard it. It's amusing. The Thomas version is not available on You Tube. His other stuff is. "Beware, take care of the green-eyed dragon with the 13 tails. He'll feed with greed on little boys, puppy dogs, and big fat snails. Then off to his lair each child he'd drag and each of his 13 tails he'd wag. Beware, take care, and creep up on tip toes."

Naaah, this concept has more power, because it's less directly in your face, therefore it's more mysterious and leaves much more to the viewer's imagination

You can clearly see how frail (and desperate) Lugosi is. The movie, like Bride of the Monster, maybe gar-bitch, but Bela Lugosi presence is the saving grace of these crapfests!

I'm with Naikorasu. OK, the film is cheap and laughable, that doesn't mean it's below being analyzed seriously. It may not be about what Ed meant to convey, but what he DID convey. This speech is fertile ground for Freudians, despite it's lack of poetic refinement. And the way this film really touches a nerve in the gay and transexual communities says something for it. These people, in general, are no more stupid than average, and this film is ADMIRED in those circles. There is much to discuss.
