"We are all interested in the future, for that is where we are going to spend the rest of our lives !", said bonkers TV Psychic Criswell....he didn't have any other names apparently,which is usually the hallmark of a genius. Criswell certainly had a genius in the way he could predict virtually nothing that came true.Thanks to the benefit of living precisely 20 years after the Criswell predicted 'End of the World',we can look back and definitely cross vending machine sex-change operations off of the list for starters.
I am rather envious of that splendid cultivated kiss curl that can be located revolving from his receeding hairline.
It may surprise you to know, but the Narrator of 'Plan Nine From Outer Space' was predictably, a rampant Homosexual.Which would have made him fit in rather snuggly with all the other freaks and outsiders that made up the Edward D. Wood Jr entourage.
The low budget Nostradamus supplies us with 40 minutes of wide ranging predictions,that if the same analysis technique as applied to the cryptic verse of the mad monk of Provence, all of these madcap alternative futures have already happened,and this where you heard them first......and last, because, like Nostradamus....None of them came,or will appear to become true,without a dumpster full of autistic licence.
But, we laugh at Criswell, and take Nostradamus as 'real'??
The most disturbing thing about this trash culture clairvoyance is that its trival targets are only too omnipresent in this post Criswell future.Death, the proud brother, tapped on his shoulder well before he could bask in his cult glory, and before he could take advantage of having his remains blasted into outer space by missle.This prediction at least, did come true;but sadly,in the case of James "Scottie" Doohan of Star Trek.His rocket never made it into space, and crashed somewhere in the Mojave Desert...."the Engines could nae take it Captain!"

Here we have DIY cinema at its very zenith on a lavish budget of precisely Fuck all. (watch it HERE!)
Edward D. Wood Jr's anti-nuclear masterpiece, and Bela Lugosi's final nail in his coffin...literally.
Now you can recreate all that amazing dialogue with the backing music, which Ed got from some cheapo Hollywood music library. Quite a few bits of this soundtrack turn up elsewhere in the Hollywood dumpster.For example, the Plan 9 main theme pops up in that other schlocksploitation movie "The Wild Women Of Wongo".....another DIY movie of impressive incompetence.
The 'Main Theme' was written by ex-BBC employee, Trevor Duncan.Who left the BBC the year Daphne Oram arrived, to earn more money in Hollywood,but,in the process,become totally forgotten.
As Delia Derbyshire made the immortal "Dr Who Theme" at the BBC, at least Trev wrote the Theme to 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'?.....apparently this fact was not engraved upon his tombstone,a glaring error on a not too unremarkable CV.
