Plan 9 from outer Space
A real gem. An Edward wood production starring among others, Bela Lugosi. Lugosi died before the film was completed so they used a stand in who covered his face with a cape.

Specifically, a taller stand-in who looked nothing like Bela, even though his face was covered.

I think it made the top 10 list at one time. Just not the one most would want to be on.

The Rifftrax version is classic. They absolutely crucify it.

Boy, the other 8 Plans must have been real stinkeroos.

Seems TCM is running hokey 1960's sci-fi today...

early I watched the tail end of what has to be one of the worst ever made... some italian spaghetti sci-fi called "War of the Planets"

Right now I'm watching The Green Slim.... its a lot better...

the really fun part is when ever one of the ships is traveling through space its rockets are constantly on.....

We saw Earth Girls are Easy not long ago. Geena Davis in her prime. We enjoyed it a lot.

that was a decent movie - for a campy Sci-Fi

Plan 9 is in a league of its own...its so bad its actually good

and then you have the whole Killer Tomatoes thing going on at the same time...

I still have the Tor Johnson mask I bought in the 70's after seeing Plan 9.

Here is a photo of the mask.
I had a lot of fun wearing that around at night scaring people back in a kinder, gentler time.
If I did it today, I'd probably get shot.
