IDEA "Misfits: Plan 9" with "Ed Wood's : Plan 9 from Outer Space"

Share Your Synchs

It seems to me that all of us here at the Arkive have similar tastes in music. Mainly rock. I used to listen to Metallica and by association started listening to Glenn Danzig and the Misfits. I had one of those "ah ha" moments when I recalled the name of the CD. Plan 9. So...why not try it out with Plan 9 from outer space. Both are obscure works but, oddly, they seem made for each other.

I have not done this yet, as I'm waiting for the Movie to arrive. But I have already noted several similarities between the two works. Here's a starting list.

The title obviously; both have "Plan 9" in them.

The plot of the film is focused on a race of extraterrestrial beings who are seeking to stop humans from creating a doomsday weapon that would destroy the universe. In the course of doing so, the aliens implement "Plan 9", a scheme to resurrect Earth's dead as zombies to get the planet's attention, causing chaos.

Here are just some of the song titles that are pertinent to this story.

Teenagers from Mars
Night of the Living Dead
I Turned into a Martian
Astro Zombies

Also, there is a song titled "Vampira" and the actor "Vampira" appears in the film.

More to come later, after I've received the movie.

EDIT: 7/30/2008
Well, I was doing some research on Plan 9 from Outer Space and apparently, Danzig named Plan 9 records in reference to the movie, Link
so that would explain the similarities in the song titles (Vampira). I think this will be an interesting piece of fusion.
