| "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is said to be the worst | | | | their operation in a California cemetery. Their ultimate |
| movie ever made. As a matter of fact, the movie is | | | | plan is go animate the dead people buried in the |
| so bad that people actually enjoy watching it to the | | | | cemetery and send them off to march on the |
| point that they will call up their friends, buy lots of | | | | capitals of the world. To date, they've only managed |
| popcorn, go to a local Blockbuster and purposely rent | | | | to animate three zombies, but this doesn't in the |
| it for the intention of spending 79 of the most | | | | least discourage them. A subplot involves an airline |
| hysterical minutes you will ever spend watching a | | | | pilot, who lives near the cemetery, trying to save his |
| supposedly "serious" movie.So why all the fuss? Is | | | | wife from the middle of this mess.If the movie plot |
| this movie so bad that it is actually enjoyable?To | | | | wasn't bad enough, the scenery was even worse. |
| answer that question you first have to understand | | | | The cemetery clearly had cardboard tombstones as |
| one of the most odd turn of events in even making | | | | props. The flying saucer that was heading towards |
| the movie in the first place. The movie featured Bela | | | | the Earth looked like two candlestick holders glued |
| Lugosi. He was by no means one of the major stars | | | | together. The special effects budget for this joke of |
| of the movie, playing a ghoul man, which is just as | | | | a movie couldn't have been any more than a few |
| well. See, Lugosi, who was famous for his role as | | | | hundred dollars, if that.The movie featured a few |
| Dracula, died during the making of the film. This | | | | performers who went on to become very famous |
| presented a bit of a problem since he was to have | | | | characters in their own right. One of them was |
| some speaking parts. So to "correct" this problem, | | | | Vampira, who played a vampire girl in the movie. |
| the producers got a "double" to finish the rest of the | | | | Another one was Tor Johnson who played Inspector |
| movie in Lugosi's place. This took the form of the | | | | Dan Clay. Johnson went on to play in many low |
| double doing nothing more than walking around with a | | | | budget science fictions, though none quite as bad as |
| cape in front of his face so that nobody could tell | | | | this one.Following what goes on in this movie is close |
| that it wasn't Lugosi. This alone made this movie a | | | | to impossible. There are so many goofs, such as the |
| laugh riot.But the movie laughs don't end with a | | | | scenes changing from day to night and back to day |
| Lugosi stand in. The plot, what there is of one, | | | | again in a matter of seconds, that not busting out in |
| revolves around aliens from outer space (what else?) | | | | laughter while watching this nightmare is close to |
| who are a little ticked off by the stupid minds of the | | | | impossible.Maybe that's what the legendary Ed Wood |
| planet Earth. So they come to our planet and set up | | | | had in mind when he made this canned film classic. |
