(I know it was technically released in 1957, but I'm going by the general 1959 release date here.) I've never seen this infamous film, but I know of its reputation and flaws (bad visual effects, Bela Lugosi's obvious double, poor performances, etc.). Many people, maybe even some today, consider this the worst movie ever made, but all of the "badness" supposedly adds to the charm of this movie. It's considered the epitome of the "so bad it's good" type of movie. The movie most associated with infamous writer/director Ed Wood besides "Glen or Glenda". Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) - BOMB out of 4 stars"Hailed as the worst movie ever made; certainly one of the funniest. Pompous aliens believe they can conquer Earth by resurrecting corpses from a San Fernando Valley cemetery. Lugosi died after two days' shooting in 1956; his remaining scenes were played by a taller, younger man holding a cape over his face! So mesmerizingly awful it actually improves (so to speak) with each viewing. And remember: it's all based on sworn testimony! Followed by REVENGE OF THE DEAD." ![](https://i.postimg.cc/SRMGKJC9/Plan-9-Alternative-poster.jpg)

That's the way to watch it IMO!

Which is why I find it better than more dull and uncharming bad movies like Manos or Monster a Go-Go, which are just hard to sit through, even with the MST3K gang. But Plan 9 is a ton of fun.

It’s really really bad but its heart is in the right place.

Unbelievably bad. Cardboard tombstones, flying saucers that are paper plates with strings, aliens who are just humans wearing silk pajamas, and daytime suddenly turning into nighttime and suddenly turning back to daytime. It has it all.
