Plan 9 From Outer Space

I think he knows throughout how awful the movie is and is considerably more knowing and ironic than you'd think.

Hmmmmm I've got a VHS of "Lobster Man from Mars" and "Girlfriend from Hell" should be interesting watching, if not quite as bad as Plan 9.

Glen or Glenda is Wood's most hilarious movie. His crew is really an epic drama
Ed himself, the drug ridden Bela Lugosi, the catcher-freak...

But I have to say, compared to a good deal of B-movies today, Ed Wood's stories were not in the least less credible, less coherent or more cheesy. Just the camera work and the effects have become better for today's "Ed Woods".

I tried watching Plan 9 once. I fell asleep. We all fell asleep.

But imagine the poor soul who was looking for some fun when the movie was released... he just sees the movie poster, "hm, Plan 9 from Outer Space? That sounds funny", and then he is the victim of such a horrible piece of celluloid... He would probably demand his money back...

You soon realize what the film is like though. I remember the scene where some undead turns into a clean skeleton as one of the most out-of-place experiences I ever saw in a movie. And you have to love the flying saucers burning over Holliwood with the lines dangling...

Kazaa or something like that?

I am interested in watching it. I think..

Almost. Lugosi died just a few days after principle shooting began; there was little or no actual footage of him shot, but Wood needed his name on the credits to sell the thing. So he spliced in home movie footage of Lugosi prancing about in his Dracula costume, then replaced him in the movie with Wood's wife's chiropractor (or maybe dentist; I can't recall), who was a good foot taller than Lugosi as well as being blonde.

Oooh, thanks for that info. They showed it a few times on British TV - I loved it.

I seem to remember an adventure game based on it a few years ago that had the video packaged with it. Never bought it unfortunately, but if it gets a re-issue, I'll definitely get one!

You can get the game at The Underdogs

You play a private eye that has to retrieve the film reels that are stolen by Bela Lugosi's replacement, who wants to replace Lugosi's's scenes with his own and then colorize the movie...

Thanks - I like adventures anyway, so I'll give that a download.

I hope it's bad
