Wood often used the same actors in his films, and his "troupe" included Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, Paul Marco, Conrad Brooks, and Duke Moore. Wood's movies have gained a remarkable fan base since his death. In 1994, Tim Burton directed a biopic about Wood starring Johnny Depp. In 1998, a previously unreleased collection of Wood's writings was published as the book "Hollywood Rat Race". Written throughout the 1960s, the book serves partially as a memoir of Wood's experiences and partially as a guide to those seeking to make a career in the movie business.
