What to Expect

Plan 9 From Outer Space is about aliens invading Earth and raising the dead to serve them. There’s a funeral, then a plane sees a UFO, which lands at the burial site and an alien gets out, killing the gravediggers as they scream offscreen. Another guy at a house dies from offscreen screaming - it’s going around - and at his funeral, the gravedigger’s bodies are found. Cops arrive to investigate, while the plane pilot at home comments to his wife of seeing the UFO. The UFO comes back to buzz the crime scene. Either an alien or a vampire gets out of a crypt to chase a detective, who falls victim to the increasing gang of either aliens or vampires the aliens are turning people into.

Plan 9 From Outer Space is NOT the Worst Movie of All Time and Ed Wood is NOT the worst director.

– Den of Geek

With its incoherent plot, jaw-droppingly dreadful dialogue, inept acting, threadbare sets, and special effects so shoddy they border on the surreal, Plan 9 From Outer Space has often been called the worst movie ever made, but it’s really just an oddly captivating disaster.
