Plan 9 From Outer SpacePG
Heralded as one of the worst films of all time by one of cinema’s worst directors, Plan 9 is an unwitting triumph of camp 1950s sf/horror. Watch as aliens try to invade Earth by raising the recently dead (including Vampira and Bela Lugosi, who actually died during filming and was replaced by a chiropractor)! Give the (failed) psychic turned narrator, The Amazing Criswell, an accurate prediction: “some of us laugh at outer space”! Presented as part of the Fright’s Out! season, with an introduction by Dr Michael Goodrum.
Screening as a double-bill with Tim Burton’s Ed Wood on Saturday 4th October. Click here to buy a ticket for the double-bill.
Reviews
‘J. Hoberman of the Village Voice has made a case for Wood as an unconscious avant-gardist; there’s no denying that his blunders are unusually creative and oddly expressive.’
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
