Plan 9 from Outer SpaceÂ (originally titledÂ Grave Robbers from Outer Space, or simply known asÂ Plan 9) is a 1959 Cinema of the United States science fiction film thriller film written and directed by Ed Wood and released by Distributors Corporation of America (as Valiant Pictures). The film stars Gregory Walcott, Mona McKinnon, Tor Johnson and Maila Nurmi. The film bills Bela Lugosi posthumously as a star, although silent footage of the actor had been shot by Wood for another, unfinished project just before Lugosi’s death in 1956.

The plot of the film involves extraterrestrial life beings who are seeking to stop humanity from creating a doomsday weapon that would destroy the universe. In the course of doing so, the aliens implement “Plan 9.” It’s a scheme to resurrect the Earth’s dead as what modern audiences would call zombies (but called “ghouls” in the film itself) causing chaos in order to get the planet’s attention.

For years, the film played on television in relative obscurity until 1980, when authors Michael Medved and Harry Medved dubbed Plan 9 from Outer SpaceÂ the “List of films considered the worst”. Wood was posthumously awarded the Medveds’ Golden Turkey Award as the worst director ever.
