Plan 9 from Outer Space

Criswell predicts this will suck! For a movie that is considered to be the worst of all time, Ed Wood's 1959 stock footage/b-roll Sci-Fi gets laughs by the barrel load, even if it is due to it's complete ineptitude.

Plot: With the first 8 being so rubbish, smug aliens come to Earth to enact the fiendish-Plan 9! A plot to fly about in bin lids, call Human's thickies and raise the dead to overthrow the world (well, 3 folk, that outta do it). This might, in fact, prove very easy, as all the cops seems prone to scratching themselves with loaded firearms and enjoy shooting sparklers at wobbly UFO's. With Earthlings developing a bomb that makes sunlight explode (huh?! Beg ya pardon!), the alien race send Bela Lugosi, Vampira, Tor Johnson and an un-dead chiropractor to save the universe by stumbling into cardboard tombstones.

With filming errors, characters using actors names and a plethora of screw-ups, this is highly recommended to anyone with a love of good, bad movies. That would be all you readers that keep coming back for more!


Line of the film: "Plan 9? Ah, yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. 
                         Long distance electrodes shot into the Pineal and Pituitary glands of the recently dead".


Budget: $60,000

Gross: $ not very high one guesses.

Fun Facts: All interest in this film should be directed to Tim Burton's biopic-Ed Wood. Such is the scale of trivia involved in Edward D Wood and his production.
