How To Explain 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' To Your Parents

Dreading having to explain the premise of 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' to your folks?
Yeah.
Me, too.
And I'm the director.

"Well, y'see, the aliens are trying to warn us about the Solaramanite, a doomsday device, if you will. And so they raise the Earth dead to become a zombie army, y'know? To get our attention, and show us that they really mean business, right? And then the, uh - ... You know what? Nevermind. I'll just see you guys at Xmas."

Isn't it ironic that this film was released in '59 - and we're having to explain it to 60-something year olds?
Kinda spooky-like.

The short answer is that they didn't care then, and they don't know now.
And the fact is, 'Plan 9', for the most part, fell through the cracks of time and right into our loving arms. It's the inherited family brass, that turned out to be solid gold, with just a little care, attention, and some turpentine.
Let's educate the Earth - young and old, male and female, from all walks of life - about the full story of what happened, on that fateful day!
We need to give these people all the evidence, based only on the secret testimonies of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal.
The incidents!
The places!
My friends, we cannot keep this a secret any longer.
Let us punish the guilty.
And reward the innocent.
If our hearts can stand the shocking facts about graverobbers from outer space, they can withstand anything.

PLAN 9!
