The Worst Movie Ever Made(?)

Plan 9 From Outer Space, a 1959 horror/science fiction-wannabe film written, directed, and edited by Edward D. Wood, Jr (Ed Wood) has earned Wood a posthumous Golden Turkey Award as the worst director ever, and the film itself dubbed by author Michael Medved (who created the Golden Turkey Award) as the worst movie ever made because of its grotesk absurdity and multiple continuity problems, along with so many amusing goofs and very poor special effects.

Plan 9 From Outer Space was shot only in five days on a budget of around $20,000. The plot is focused on aliens from outer space implement their "plan 9" (Where's plan 1 to 8, Ed?) to stop humans from creating mass destruction weapon that would destroy the universe by resurrect dead bodies as zombies to causing chaos on earth.





Plan 9 From Outer Space originally titled as Grave Robber From Outer Space, but retitled by members of the Southern Baptist church (film investor) because the title considered profane. The film bills Bela Lugosi (as Ghoul Man) posthumously as a star, although Lugosi only completed a few minutes of footage just before his death in 1956. The film was not released until July 1959 through Valiant Pictures. Other cast including Maila "Vampira" Nurmi as Vampire Girl and Tor Johnson as Insp. Dan Clay.
