The ultimate riffers who “make movies funny” on the Internet comedy
sensation RiffTrax.com will fling wisecracking commentary LIVE at a
color version of “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” a 1959 science
fiction/horror film featuring aliens, zombies, amateurish special
effects and bad acting. Written, produced and directed by Edward D. Wood
Jr., “Plan 9” is often regarded as the "worst movie ever made."
Presented by NCM Fathom and Something Awful, this exclusive RiffTrax
Live: Plan 9 from Outer Space event is hosted by Veronica
Belmont, co-host of Revisions3’s tech-centric show, “Tekzilla” and
“Qore” on the PlayStation Network. Something Awful’s Rick “Lowtax”
Kyanka will present a guest segment and Jonathan Coulton is the special
musical guest. The event will also feature an exclusive look at a new,
never-before-seen short that audiences may download following the event.
A URL and code will be revealed at the end of the event for the short as
well as a free autographed digital photo and song by the RiffTones.
“We love doing live shows – the humor is so infectious it just
multiplies the fun,” said Michael J. Nelson, RiffTrax creator and former
host and writer of the Emmy-nominated, Peabody Award-winning Mystery
Science Theater 3000. “So to be able to bring this experience to so
many people is very exciting.”
Mystery Science Theater 3000 spent a total of 11 seasons on
Comedy Central and the Sci Fi Channel in the late 1980s through 1999.
