473 Plan 9 from Outer Space (1958)
- Funded by a Baptist church, the entire cast let themselves be baptised.
- Contrary to popular belief, 'Bela Lugosi' (qv) did not die during the making
of the film. His brief scenes are actually stock footage left over from one
of director 'Edward D. Wood Jr.' (qv)'s uncompleted projects. After Lugosi's
death, Wood rewrote the screenplay to incorporate this footage.
- Lugosi's part was taken over by the director's wife's chiropractor, who was
significantly taller than Lugosi, and played the part with a cape covering
his face.
- Wood's original (and preferred) title for his masterpiece was
``Grave Robbers from Outer Space.''
- Internationally recognized as the worst movie ever made.
