So you think you know the whole story behind legendary director Ed Wood’s classic B-movie Plan 9 from Outer Space? Filmmaker Jose Prendes and the producers behind the mind-melting Shining documentary Room 237 blow the proverbial lid off one of Hollywood’s worst motion pictures. Was Ed Wood a secret government agent? Did shady agents attempt to stop Prendes from telling this story? Unspeakable Horrors: The Plan 9 Conspiracy promises to answer these questions and more.
From the Press Release:
“People always crap on poor Plan 9, and I suppose it’s understandable because no one really knows the truth. The stuff we will reveal in Unspeakable Horrors is really going to set the cinefile world on its ear. The moment we started working on this, we’ve been harassed by government stooges, but as soon as Hollywood heard what we were doing, folks like Joe Dante and Scott and Larry came to our aid. As Shakespeare wrote, “Truth will out.”
Unspeakable Horrors: The Plan 9 Conspiracy is a docu-film experience unlike any other. From the producers who saw Room 237 comes the blistering truth about Edward D. Wood, Jr.’s Plan 9 from Outer Space. Hailed as the worst movie ever made, this cinematic gem and its mysteries have gone largely ignored… until now!
At great personal risk from hidden elements within the government, director Jose Prendes (The Haunting of Whaley House, The Divine Tragedies) has assembled a group of five experts, ranging from PhDs to super-fans, who have combed obsessively through the film and discovered the staggering messages that Wood hid behind supposedly shoddy filmmaking.
Joining the experts are a panel of Hollywood insiders who have always known the truth about Ed Wood and his magnum opus, including filmmakers Joe Dante (Gremlins), Tom Holland (Child’s Play), Fred Olen Ray (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers), Bill Lustig (Maniac Cop), and Mick Garris (The Stand) plus the screenwriters of Tim Burton’s Ed Wood, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, among many others too shocking to name.
Was Ed Wood a CIA operative with intimate knowledge of the U.S.’s involvement with UFOs? Was Plan 9 a moniker once used by the Nazis as their final Final Solution? Did Wood have a secret Eskimo heritage that he was hiding? Were secret societies involved with the making of the film? Was Tor Johnson an incredible method actor? Did Bela Lugosi really die?
All these questions and more will be answered in this blistering docu-film that will not only blow your mind but also leave you with a new appreciation of the unfairly maligned Plan 9 from Outer Space.
