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.’
