    Plan 9 from Outer Space

    PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE

    EDWARD D. WOOD JR. United States, 1959

    Wonky sets. A wonky script. Toy flying saucers on visible strings. It’s both midday and midnight in most scenes. Dracula and Vampira are here—but the film forgets they are vampires. And sometimes Dracula is really a chiropractor in disguise. If this is Plan 9, Plans 1 to 8 must have been terrible.

    ORGY OF THE DEAD

    STEPHEN C. APOSTOLOF United States, 1965

    A gloriously garish, über-camp “nudie cutie,” with a screenplay written by the infamous director Ed Wood: we’re sold! But wait, there’s more. It stars American psychic Criswell (of Plan 9 from Outer Space fame), a plethora of stripteases, and some truly demented costumes. In short: a cult classic!
