120 posts and nobody is going to even talk about **Plan 9**? Is it just a cliche now? Too many hilarious scenes and lines to even pick from – we’d be here all day – but what the hell, I’ve always adored this cop scratching his face with his gun: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/vlthhaQag6Y/hqdefault.jpg "Plan 9 From Outer Space - Gun Handling") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlthhaQag6Y) ---

For better or for worse, **Plan 9** has entered the cultural consciousness and is probably sticking around for at least another generation. Besides Criswell’s various bits of drivel, my favorite line has to be “Inspector Clay’s dead. Murdered! And someone’s responsible!” ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > I love the **Puppet Master** series. Full Moon Productions made a lot of direct-to-video movies that were a lot more entertaining than they had any right to be. One of my favorite movies of theirs was _Doctor Mordrid_ starring Jeffrey Combs as the good doctor. It’s basically a Doctor Strange movie with the serial numbers filled off. But FMP made all sort of movies that were so bad they were good including Subspecies, Dollman, Demonic Toys, and a few others I simply can’t recall. ---

> [@Odesio](#): > > _Doctor Mordrid_ starring Jeffrey Combs I watched it on MST3K and Combs was a good leading man. It’s a pity he was typecast. Another terrible but not bad movie is Curse of the Faceless Men. Or there’s The Christmas Dragon. ---

“The Devil Rides Out” with Christopher Lee, adapted from one of a long series of “horror” novels by Dennis Wheatley. He plays an aristocratic (of course) guy battling demonic possession. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > I watched it on MST3K Speaking of, [Time of the Apes](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/TimeOfTheApes) is really bad … and fun, especially when [viewed with the MST3K gang](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9-mWa2RpU8). ---

I liked Demonic Toys and the first Subspecies was good to great on an obviously low budget. ---

I suppose _The Room_ falls into that category as well.
