1935-present
In 1959 a mini-revival of his work occurred in Germany and around the Eastern Bloc, and his eldest son Bryan relocated there for some time to edit and direct many of the string of Edgar Wallace B-movies and made-for-TV movies filmed in that country. These later became a staple of late-night television. In 2004 Oliver Kalkofe produced the movie Der Wixxer, an homage to the popular black and white Wallace movies. It featured a large number of well known comedians.
Both his elder son Bryan Edgar Wallace (1904-1971) and his youngest daughter Penelope Wallace were also authors of mystery and crime novels. Bryan married Margaret Lane (1907–94), the distinguished British writer, in 1934 but the marriage was short-lived ending in 1939. Lane published Edgar Wallace's biography in 1938. In 1969, Penelope founded The Edgar Wallace Appreciation Society which she ran until her death in 1997, the work being continued by her daughter, also named Penelope.
