Stock footage. Poor editing. Cheesy dialogue. Over-the-top acting. More stock footage. UFO models on strings. Overtly gay character acting. Vampira. What do all these things have in common? They\u2019re key components of the \u201cbest worst movie of all time,\u201d Plan 9 from Outer Space! In this week\u2019s installment of horror education at Camp IDontWannaDie your hosts with the most take a look at what could possibly be worse than a high school production of a student-written play called \u201cDracula meets the Space Aliens\u201d or something. Oh, but wait there\u2019s zombies too. Well, whatever. Nothing makes sense anyway. It\u2019s quite a confusing hour and twenty minutes. But not in a bad way. Join Nick and Ash as they deep dive into Plan 9 trivia and traverse the rocky terrain of poor visual effects and set design that make this one a cult classic. Beware the onslaught of electrified alien macabre zombies! (Okay there's really only 3 zombies)
