     Plan 9 from Outer Space
1959  NR  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 20min
CAST— Gregory Walcott, Tom Keene, Duke Moore, Mona McKinnon, Dudley Manlove, Joanna Lee, Tor Johnson, Lyle Talbot, Bela Lugosi, Vampira, Criswell
MUSIC— Frank Worth  DIRECTOR— Edward D. Wood, Jr.

     What a piece of work. The master of schlock, Edward D. Wood, Jr., serves up the film that made him a legend, and it’s a doozey. Very human extraterrestrials (from outer space) land on Earth and for reasons unknown begin to raise the dead. These creeping corpses become a nuisance to the police and two other people and the aliens are found to be the culprits. The first half hour is the best simply for its unintentional funny, but it all ranks as B-movie supreme. Some argue that Plan 9 is the worst of the worst, the most horrible film ever conceived. You be the judge, if you dare.
