No way I can pass on the opportunity to share this. I was reading my feeds earlier on, and while getting the ones from Boing Boing, I saw their post about Plan 9. So, I rushed to Internet Archive to download it, since it seems to have indeed fallen into the public domain (Creative Commons license, here we go).This is cult movie, I say, cult movie.
Bela Lugosi was cast in the role of “Ghoul Man” but passed away before filming really started. So what happens? The producer’s wife’s chiropractor (Mr. Reynold’s was the executive producer) takes over as “Ghoul Man” and holds his cape in front of his face THE ENTIRE MOVIE.Add to this numerous plot inconsistencies, horrid acting, and masses of stock footage – some of which we see several times and you have a terrible but funny movie.
Pray, tell me, who can pass on such yummy details?

Hey, hey ! I already knew about this “yummy” detail from the movie “Ed Wood” by Tim Burton (which I highly recommend ! Johnny Depp is amazing, as well as Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi).

Some things are indeed just too good to be forgotten, right!I saw the “Ed Wood” movie so long ago, though… Looks like there are a few DVDs I should go hire someday to refresh my memories a little.
