The Worst Film of All TIme - Plan 9 From Outer Space
15 January 2022
This film is so bad, that it is good. My son Joe and I have seldom laughed so often during a film; even the best comedies from Hollywood. There are so many unintentionally hilarious scenes, that one hardly knows where to begin. Let's start with Lugosi. Somehow, he does not look like your typical Long Island houseowner; his European cape is strangely not in sync with the rest of the community. The gravedigger scene is very funny as well. How cheap are the people in this community with their loved one's graves? A cheap wooden cross instead of a headstone? That is pretty cheap; but not as cheap as the sets in this film. Ed Wood, bless his soul, does a masterful job of ruining every scene with horrendous props. I love the curtains separating the pilots of an airliner from the passengers that we never see. Great security. Remind me not to travel on that airline. But this is not the only place with curtains. The pilot's home (even though he lives outside with his wife) has curtains outside the home. I have never seen this decor before. Even the spaceship has curtains. The people who made curtains as props for this film made a fortune.

I think that The Price is Right must have the director's favorite TV show. (What's behind curtain number two?). The cast had two major problems; very few of them knew how to drive a car. Two of them put the cars in reverse before driving. Two others leave the lights after leaving the car. Another problem area for both the police and the aliens are their weapons. They don't seem to work. The aliens are forced to flee when their microwave oven catches fire. This is perfectly understandable. There is also a very fat man who wanders around looking for food and a scantily-dressed woman who doesnt change her clothes for four days and can be smelled from over 100 yards away. This film is not half-baked; it not even in the oven. But it very funny to watch.
