Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)
A diabolical terror from beyond the stars strikes earth! Plans 1 through 8 are skipped completely and the aliens go right to Plan 9: using the recently deceased as slaves for their dastardly deeds! This is the original Ed Wood sci-fi/horror classic. Wood was a true independent filmmaker, and he put all his love of classic science fiction and horror films into this, his magnum opus. Bela Lugosi shows up early but is replace with Wood's chiropractor after Lugosi's untimely death. Vampira (Maila Murmi) plays "Vampira Girl," a mute ghoul. And wrestler Tor Johnson is an investigator turned zomboid who crawls out of his grave. While some consider this the worst movie ever made, most find it an absolutely bonkers slice of 50's drive-in cinema. In Glorious Black & White. 79 minutes. The Auditorium opens at 6:00 pm and the movie begins at 6:30. Food and drink are allowed in the Auditorium during the movie.
Gimmick- TBD
