Sam does a damn good Groucho. I'm pretty sure it runs for less than 30. The Medveds were way off base naming this the worst movie ever made. I just picked up the 50 Horror classics box set from Epscom for an utter song, and there's at least 11 old Monogram pictures that have stiffer plots, more vapid acting and far less entertainment value than Plan 9. Plan 9 isn't even the worst film Tor Johnson ever made. A little gem called Beast of Yucca Flats deserves that distinction. Plus, I'm dead certain the worst movie ever made must be a made for the sci fi channel production about giant animals fighting some dude from Melrose Place. Or something on Lifetime about Suzanne Sommers or Swoosie Kurtz being raped. Glen or Glenda even decimates Plan 9 in the Highlanderesque war for Worst Movie ever made. Idiot critics. There can be only one. And that one is not Plan 9.

I am a huge fan of cult horror films also. I guess from my screen name anyone could tell. I have also seen "The Beast of Yucca Flats" and "Plan 9 From Outerspace" was definately a more fun movie. On Friday November 17th TCM will be screening "The Mark of the Vampire". That is another fun movie in my book. It has a surprise ending brought to us in part by Bela and Todd Browning.
