7 Science Fiction Movies That Embarrass The Genre

2. Plan 9 From Outer Space

We keep going in the same goofy tone as was the last move; this one will feature aliens, zombies and vampires all ganged up against us. Not that it will do the movie any good, but hey! There is no particular problem here except for the movie itself. There will be instances of actors that are visibly reading from cue cards, rather obviously messed up dialogue (or maybe it was supposed to be that bad), and my personal favourite - the arriving car scene. What's so special about this scene is that the same thing plays out whenever somebody arrives somewhere via car. Nevermind the time of the day, car model, driver... that's all irrelevant. It's always the same damn thing and it cracks me up every single time. This is another example of a movie so bad that it has to be valued as a comedy piece. The story goes that the aliens want to use our dead to defeat us. Logically, they awaken a man in a Dracula costume as a vampire (Bela Lugosi), his girlfriend, and the sh*t hits the fan. Basically, the ghouls get up and start attacking the living humans. As you can see, the entire story wanted to be a mash up of everything that terrified the viewership back then, but failed in every possible way (who'd have guessed?).
