Since I’m on the subject of Plan 9 and Ed Wood, here’s the trailer for this epic piece of cinema. (Do people still use the word “Epic” like that anymore…. I don’t care, it’s late)
Yes! I found this clip of some of the best lines from that movie. Good hell this is good. For any of these to make sense you have to be either really drunk or have to have suffered tremendous brain damage.
I have a new project now. I’m going to build an “Electrode Gun” so I can raise the dead too.
Am I the only one who thought that the gasoline-sun-ball thing made absolutely NO SENSE? I mean, seriously, what was he trying to get at?
It doesn’t make a lick of sense, but I love that blond guy’s hair. He looks like Gumbi.
Every day I wake up and remind myself NOT to blow up the light, as it might create a chain reaction that would destroy the universe.
It’s just good practice.
I saw Ed Wood a few years back but never the original Plan 9. Those snippets are truly epic.
You’ve got to see it then, it’s so bad that it is pure Goodness. To this day, one of my favorite bad movies.
Plan 9 is so good. I love the narrators hair. He makes me laugh just looking at him.
Here is a link to a blog I published containing some little-known Plan 9 lore.

Enjoy!
Nice, that was a really cool read.
Then it seams I owe your dad a debt of gratitude. “Plan 9 From Outer Space” is still one of my favorite movies, I swear I watch it at least once or twice a year for the past twenty years.
On behalf of Pop, and the entire Marten family, you’re welcome, Z. C.!
All the Best,
