The police department investigate the mysterious rising of a dead old man (played alternately by Bela Lugosi and a much taller, younger man pretending to be Bela Lugosi by holding a cape over his face), his suspiciously young wife and Police Inspector Clay, who's 'a big boy now, Johnny'.

Hey, in this case, one out of three ain't bad.Ī classic tale of Human Aliens creating a Zombie Apocalypse via administering ' long distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary gland of the recent dead'. But for just those qualities, it is often considered the worst movie of all time. As it turned out however, Bela Lugosi was dead, while Ed Wood was a man of unlimited drive and determination, but had absolutely no talent as a writer or director. Plan 9 from Outer Space is a 1959 American black-and-white science fiction horror film written, produced, directed and edited by Ed Wood that was to change the world irrevocably, resurrect Bela Lugosi's ailing film career and be known forever as the greatest motion picture of all time. Before there was The Room, Troll 2, Birdemic, the collected works of Uwe Boll, Baby Geniuses, Battlefield Earth, or even Manos: The Hands of Fate, this was the golden standard in bad filmmaking.
