If you were asked the question: What is the worst Sci Fi/Horror movie in the history of cinema, I’m sure that 80% would answer with Ed Wood’s, Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Well, that’s not our Friday Video this week. However, the eccentric Ed Wood made plenty of bad movies for our enjoyment. In fact, I’ll bet most of you have never even heard of this film.

What better way to spend a lazy afternoon over a 3 day weekend than watching a classically bad movie? I know that many here would have gone through life, never realizing what a plethora of terrible Hollywood drivel there is out there. Not to mention that the early years of cinema brought us some of the bes…I mean, worst of all time.

Dr. Eric Vornoff (Bela Lugosi), is into heavy experiments with nuclear power (Oh no!). To make his lab run more smoothly he has a mute assistant named Lobo (Tor Johnson). Soon (in his mind) he will create an army of super soldiers that will run roughshod over the earth. Frankly, I don’t think he has our best interests in mind, in fact, he seems like a real meanie.

Of course they carry out these diobolical experiments in a big mansion because mad scientists always live in big mansions. It always works better when the villagers come with torches and pitchforks. Bt wait a darn second here, if anyone should come snooping around Dr. Vornoff has a surprise lurking in the swamp surrounding the castle, a guygantic octopus that the doctor created to act as a guard dog. Hey, what do you expect? After all, it’s an Ed Wood movie.

The doctor takes a woman reporter, Janet Lawton, prisoner after she snoops around too much. Then the police get involved and yada, bla, bla, everything gets complicated.

I’d get into a whole Ed Wood jigger but I’ve talked too much already. Sooo, in my usual selfless, thoughtful way, I’ve provided some links for those interested. Go here and here for more info. Actually you can go anywhere you want, don’t let me stop you.
