Plan 9.......
......from Outer Space (so Bela Lugosi, wearing a dodgy cloak, has just exited the shot on the left, but you're just going to have to take my word for that unless you watch it too)......er, so is watching B movies from the 50's allowed on Sunday mornings, it's a wee bit windy for walking........
A bit of background from Wikipedia: During an impromptu interview in 1955, Lugosi stated that he was about to go to work on a new Ed Wood film, The Ghoul Goes West. This was one of several projects proposed by Wood, including The Phantom Ghoul and Dr. Acula. With Lugosi in his famed Dracula cape, Wood shot impromptu test footage, with no storyline in mind, in front of Tor Johnson's home, a suburban graveyard and in front of Lugosi's apartment building on Carlton Way. This footage ended up in Plan 9 from Outer Space, which was mostly filmed after Lugosi's death. Wood hired Tom Mason, his wife's chiropractor, to double for Lugosi in additional shots. Mason was noticeably taller and thinner than Lugosi, and had the lower half of his face covered with his cape in every shot.
......you couldn't make it up........
