      Plan 1 is a classic, plan 2 is good but not awesome, plan 3 is a low budget cash grab to keep the franchise going, plan 4 is the surprise re-imagening of plan 1 with Ron Pearlman in the role of a lifetime, Plan 5 ignores all the other movies and is a direct continuation of Plan 1 with Alexandra Daddario in a topless scene, Plan 6 once again reboots the series with a twist : the main characters are teenagers and is full of 80s nostalgia, Plan 7-8 are both directed by Rob Zombie and take place between the events of plan 1 and 2,they are gritty,dirty and incredibly violent for no good reason and we Planheads don't really like them..So pick your poison

      Tom Mason was Ed's chiropractor AND occasionally attended the Baptist church whose preacher ended up funding Plan Nine. Ed filmed Bela's few minutes of footage not long before Bela passed away, but there was no particular vampire story written for them, no project they were shooting with those scenes, it was just some of Ed's and Bela's ideas as they shot. Bela WAS Dracula to Ed (and everyone else, of course) so the vampire theme was just a given. Then Bela died, and the footage sat in Ed's apartment. Later, when Ed got the funds to make what would be Plan Nine, he knew he could finally use Bela's last footage and thought his chiropractor would be a decent enough stand-in for Bela. Ed also figured the movie as "Lugosi's Last Picture" would help sell it.

    A single construction barrier light behind the Jacob's Ladder* at 1:01:43
    A prop ladder glued to the wall, making it almost impossible to climb 1:02:54
    Those fabulous get-ups from a production of Hamlet: 47:54 (Plus a redecorated barrier light on Bunny's desk.)
    Come to think of it, the concept of random crap pretty much sums this movie up. Stock footage, solar gasoline rays, zombies, Officer Kelton, lonely wife, and the stupid government cover-up of stupid aliens trying to communicate with us in increasingly moronic ways. This is the People Soup of movies.

    You missed "Wardrobe by Dick Cheney" in the credits guys.

    It’s like Earl and Chauncey are in a scavenger hunt whose first item was “find a place to dig a grave.”
    They’re literally standing in a farmer’s winter wheat field FFS! 😂

    I am blown away by how bad this movie is. Just astounded. And the "science" isn't even feasible. Stupid, stupid, stupid writers!

    @ 31:05 the picture behind the bed changes to a modern picture of a man and woman then changes back to the original set picture from the film in the next shot where you can see it on the wall. WTF?

      Was part of a contest, I think.
      If you donated to a crowdfunding for a remastering of this film, a picture of you would be inserted into the film.

    I love this movie. It started my own interest in B movies, riffing on them with friends, and then discovering MST3K and RiffTrax
