Always a fun afternoon to look forward to when I attend a screening at the Alex Theatre. The classic was too funny & everyone in the audience seemed to agree. Looking forward to the next showing the Alex has to offer to Goldstar members.Written on Oct 26 2011

PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE is famous for being one the worst movies ever made but that is the total charm of the film. It is so bad that it is hilarious fun. I enjoyed every second of the movie because it was so bad. The highlight of the evening was the panel discussion with Gregory Walcott, who gave some wonderful insight into the making of the movie. The sets are so bad and fake looking that the movie just can't be taken seriously yet the actors seem to be very serious about their roles. There are a few obviously camp actors like Vampira and Criswell but the rest of the cast is taking it seriously. What could be more fun? To add to the total bizarre nature of the film, this is Bela Lugosi's last movie, but he was already dead when filming began! Director Ed Wood had taken some film of Lugosi for another project. These scenes were added into PLAN 9 and another actor--his arm always covering his face with his cape--is used for the extra scenes need. The fact that this film is so hilariously bad makes it a real gem. I can't imagine what audiences thought when the film was just being shown for the first time. Everyone now knows not to take it seriously. This truly was a fun and delightful movie experience at the Alex.Written on Oct 25 2011

I saw the 2pm show.Written on Oct 24 2011
The Alex is a great place to see old movies, they really do a nice job. This was no exception.
The panel which spoke on the film beforehand really helped get the crowd in the mood. There was also a short documentary about the only living cast member, which also added to the enjoyment.

The movie was as bad as you expect, but funny as hell, it's fun just looking for stuff that is wrong in the movie. It did take a little while to get to the movie, there was a cartoon short which was good, but then they had a panel talking about the movie and they showed another clip of one of the actors talking about his experience working on this film. But overall I liked it.Written on Oct 24 2011

Description
Can your heart stand the shocking facts about Graverobbers from Outer Space? That's the question on the lips of the narrator of this tale about flying saucers, zombies and cardboard tombstones. A pair of aliens, angered by the stupid minds of planet Earth, set up shop in a California cemetery. Their plan to animate an army of the dead to march on the capitals of the world. (The fact that they have only managed to resurrect three zombies to date has not discouraged them.) An intrepid airline pilot living near the cemetery must rescue his wife from this low-budget terror.
There will be a guest appearance by Gregory Walcott at 8pm. Gregory Walcott appeared in films with Clint Eastwood, worked opposite Tony Curtis and co-starred with Ben Johnson in Steven Speilberg’s first feature, “Sugarland Express” but, even with his stellar credits and long career, Walcott admits that it was poverty row producer/director Ed Wood who kept his name alive. Now, as the last surviving cast member of Wood’s 1959 classic Plan 9 From Outer Space, fan mail still arrives from all over the world, asking for an autograph from one of the stars of the uber-cult movie that features Bela Lugosi’s last screen appearance.
Shot in four days on a tiny stage at the corner of Western and Santa Monica Boulevard, Plan 9 From Outer Space has charmed audiences who flock to see how it gained the reputation as the “worst movie ever made.” It may have that title, but there are, of course, many more ruinous films. A truer definition might be “the best worst movie ever made.”
In addition to the feature film and visit with Gregory Walcott, the AFS Halloween Event will present a classic animated cartoon, Jumpin' Jupiter (1955), featuring Porky Pig, Sylvester and an interplanetary foil, Buzzard from Jupiter; as well as a panel discussion on Ed Wood that will include a salute to the horror film icon, Bela Lugosi.
Plan 9 From Outer Space stars Bela Lugosi, Vampira, and Lyle Talbot. Written and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr.
