I love the classic monster movies: Bela Lugosi's Dracula and Boris Karloff in The Mummy or Frankenstein. They scared the bejeebers out of me as a child and I have fond memories. I was a odd kid.....I loved being scared.
I could never understand how the Mummy could shuffle through the swamp, one arm wrapped to his body and dragging one leg and STILL catch an able-bodied man or woman. And the bat? Just don't open the window....is that so complicated? Frankenstein's monster couldn't run fast, but the village mob never could catch him in time.
I will never miss "Plan 9 from Outer Space" whenever it shows.....it is, without doubt, the absolutely worst "B" movie ever made. I am a connoisseur of really, really bad B movies. I have my standards and this movie is the Gold Standard of bad B's. You want goofs, you want anachronisms, you want complete idiots making a movie? "Plan 9" fills the bill. Bela Lugosi died in the first few days of filming but the director didn't want to lose his name appeal, so they used his wife's dentist instead who just happened to have a nice widows-peak. Of course, they had to keep his face covered with a cloak, which had absolutely NOTHING to do with the character. And it goes downhill from there. I love it!
