To #42, if I see Conrad Brooks next year, assuming he is still alive, I’ll tell him that someone actually liked Plan 9. Haven’t seen him in a year or more due to his illnesses, and he moved so I haven’t been able to reach him.

PS: Bella Lugosi was very sick during the filming so all they could do was to run old film clips of him from other movies to fill in his character.

Conrad knew the movie was crap and he’s had a ball talking about it for over 50 years. However, his stories about Ed Wood and Hollywood are great. One of the last of the old time Grade Z movie actors who never took himself too seriously.

We both came from Baltimore so we used to trade stories about the old days when it wasn’t a shithole.

PS: Have a great photo of him, myself and Paul LeMat from a memorabilia show in Maryland about 7 years ago. LeMat was a funny guy, and cool too. Turned out to be a good actor as he got older. Long live “American Graffitti”.

Coming to a theater soon: “Plan 9 From Outer Space (Chicago) II Obama’s Rise to Power”
