This is it! The most popular Atomic Age cult film of the 20th century. Winner of two Golden Turkey Awards for Worst Picture and Worst Director of All Time, the immortal Edward D. Wood Jr!
It's all here, the not-so-special efects, aliens in skating skirts zooming around in string-powered flying saucers to implementthe ninth plan of earth's conquest (the first eight failed) with an army of zombiess (well, three actually): Vampira, Tor Johnso and Bela Lugosi in his legendary "postmortem" performance (with Ed's chiropractor standing in for Bela after his death).
This truly original movie, Ed Wood's Citizen Kane, is a hymn to all those who have ever tried to create something intelligent and meaningful and failed miserably every step of the way.
Also includes the two-hour-long retrospective documentary Flying Saucers Over Hollywood: The Plan 9 Companion featuring interviews with the stars Gregory Walcott, Carl Anthony, Paul Marco, Vampira and Conrad Brooks, plus sci-fi historian Forrest J. Ackerman and directors/ fans Sam Raimi and Joe Dante.

Awesome - 5 out of 5 (6/23/2004)
What a film. Edward D Wood was an absolute anti genious!! This film has the greatest scenes in cinema! The Hub cap flying sources, the wobbly grave stones, pathetic and contradictory dialogue, tor johnson struggling to get out of the grave and much much more.
Truly the funniest film ever made

the great edward d. wood jr...one of his best films ! - 4 out of 5 (7/29/2003)
plan 9 is truely something to behold. if you haven't seen this movie, you should. ed wood is one of the last great directors of the 20th century. remember, everyone of us has a dream of doing something wonderful, for ed wood, it was creating a movie of his own vision, just like you or me. great movie !!!

What a purchase! - 2 out of 5 (3/20/2003)
This film is so awful that it is good. The two hour documentary may be the equivalent of jamming a candle in a turd and calling it a birthday cake, but for true fans it makes Tim Burton's biopic look like a post-it note.
