Plan 9 From Outer Space -
This is the Big One. Ed Wood's fever dream specticle of a sci-fi movie. Some people come here JUST for this movie. They usually show it around Midnight. More spectacular than "Rocky Horror," it's got Vampira, Tor Johnson, stock footage of Bela Lugosi, and a tall chiropractor. Bring paper Plates and be ready to recite lines like: "Murder! And somebody's responsible! HALL OF FAME PICK! |

My Hall of Fame
B-Fest Lineup
Like all "Best Ever" lists, this one will spark much debate. Here is a sampling of past B-Fest movies that are head and shoulders below the rest:
1) Plan 9 From Outer Space -
Nuff Said!
2) The Creeping Terror-
This one hasn't been shown since 1991 because a good print of is impossible to find. It used to be as popular as Plan 9, as half the audience got on-stage under blankets imitating the monster and the other half imiitated the twist-dancers about to be attacked. Most of the soundtrack was lost during filming, so voice-over narration prevails.
3) Glen or Glenda -
Ed Wood's companion piece to Plan 9, this has got it all. Stock footage, angora, Bela narrarating, and even Ed Wood himself! "Bevare! Bevare!"
4) Invasion of the B-Girls -
An audience favorite, they enjoy buzzing along when the b-girls attack their prey (which they kill by using sex.)
5) Kingdom of the Spiders -
William Shatner stars in this thiller about a small town taken over by small spiders. Great theme song.
6) Beyond the Valley of the Dolls-
Roger Ebert's first and last screenplay is Russ Meyer-ified in this '60s orgy of music, hedonism and drugs. "This is my happening and it FREAKS ME OUT!"
7) Gymkata-
Olympic Medalist Kurt Thomas sells his soul to this action movie which has him running into gymnastic equipment at most opportune moments!
8) Destroy All Monsters-
In the year 1999, all the Earth's giant monsters (Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Angilas and Minya, among others) are incarcerated on Monster Island. Aliens release the beasts and send them to trample the cities of our world. Truly awe-inspiring.
9) Robot Monster-
Guys in gorrila suits with diving helmets wipe out the entire human race except for one picnicking family and spend the whole movie trying to kill them with a bubble machine.
10) Wizard of Speed and Time-
See Chef's Selection.
More favorites will be added soon!
