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’re key components of the “best worst movie of all time,” Plan 9 from Outer Space! In this week’s 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 “Dracula meets the Space Aliens” or something. Oh, but wait there’s zombies too. Well, whatever. Nothing makes sense anyway. It’s quite a confusing hour and twenty minutes. But not in a bad way.

Beware the onslaught of electrified alien macabre zombies! (Okay there's really only 3 zombies) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/copulatorsdiefirst/message
