60 years ago today, they skipped past Plans 1 thru 8...

...and went directly to Plan 9. From outer space.



God bless you, Ed Wood.

Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are giving you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimonies of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places, my friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?

"WHAT HAPPENED TO PLAN 7?"

What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? It has to be seen to be believed. There are bad movies, and then there's Plan 9. It's just on a whole other level.

"You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!"

[Rumble McSkirmish]

Just remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.

Used to own this movie on VHS. It was a box set that was designed to look like cashmere.

I'm a big boy now, Johnny!

You know, it's an interesting thing when you consider: the Earth people, who can think, are so frightened by those who cannot — the dead.

So Rifftrax Live is 10 years old this year?

Funfact; Gremlin made a video game based on the movie in 1992. Released on the Amiga computers, Atari ST and DOS. The game came with a free copy of the movie.

The game was a point and click adventure game with some action elements. Never played it, but remember seeing it in stores:

The movie is actually very magical. It's bad, but in a cute "Awww... they tried?" kinda way. Its not horribly boring, just completely bizarre and badly made in almost every possible way. The plot is kinda interesting, like a strange mash-up of the "Day The Earth Stood Still" and "Night of the Living Dead". They remake so much stuff these days, I would love to see someone take a crack at it seriously and try to make it good.

There was actually a remake back in 2015, featuring Brian Krause, a horror host named Mr. Lobo, Conrad Brooks (one of Ed Woods' pals from back in the day who was in the original) and the Angry Video Game Nerd.

If you can believe it, the movie was not that bad.......well, it probably was bad, but dammit the thing was a curiously interesting watch that I enjoyed sitting through.

See, the cool ideas from Wood are why I wouldn't put an actual hack like Tommy Wiseau on his level. If you told someone there was a movie about aliens from outer space resurrecting the dead in order to conquer earth that at least sounds like a really cool idea for a movie. Or a mad scientist with a killer octopus and a huge fat dude manservant conducting experiments to make a race of atomic supermen. That's a cool idea for a movie. Wiseau made a movie about his girlfriend cheating on him with his best friend.

It’s seriously far from the worst movie ever made.

Ed Wood has commonly been described as "he had the passion, but no talent." Incompetent movies with passion behind them can be redeemable movies in some fashion; they can allow the mind to wander out of the drivel. Incompetent movies without passion can be & probably are detestable crap because no one making it cares and it'll show.

Wiseau made a movie about his girlfriend cheating on him with his best friend.

Wait is THAT what The Room was about?

the trailer shows just how wild Plan 9 is
