Plan 9 from Outer Bratislava - a photo on Flickriver

Tatra T6A5 7903 disappears into Bratislava Tunnel with yet another service on the west to east route 9 in the Slovak capital, the trip originating in Kútiky in the western borough of Karlova Ves, and finishing at Astronomická in the Ružinov district to the east of the city.

The ČKD Tatra-produced T6A5s have been a common site plying their trade on the streets of Bratislava since introduction in 1991.

"Plan 9 from Outer Space" is the name of a science fiction-horror film released in 1957 that is notable for several reasons. Firstly it was the last on-screen appearance of legendary Hungarian-American actor Bela Lugosi. Lugosi is best known for his work in the burgeoning 1930s and 40s horror film scene championed in particular by Universal Pictures, being cast as the titular Count in the 1931 release "Dracula" and reprising the role in countless (ha, pardon the pun)* other films of differing quality up until his death in 1956. Indeed, even Lugosi's brief scenes in 'Plan 9' were in "full cape and fangs". The film was produced, written, directed and edited by Ed Wood, Wood was a filmmaker, actor, and novelist whose works, almost exclusively in the horror-genre, attracted more attention following his death in 1978 than at the time of their respective releases in the 1950s and 60s, acclaim and a cult following being attributed more for their poor quality and un-intended comedic value rather than any aspect of quality or attention to detail. A reflection of this is the fact that 'Plan 9' is probably best known for being considered 'the worst film in the history of cinema' by many blessed with the gift of sight and hearing.**

*Actually Pete, wouldn't that be an "un-pun" or an "anti-pun" as it wouldn't be a Count Dracula pun at all if the fillms were 'countless - i.e 'without a count'.

**of course if anyone with that opinion had ever seen, well, basically anything with Adam Sandler in it then they might revise their decision.***

***Apart from the "Hotel Transylvania" films of course, he's in great those.****

****"Hotel Transylvania"? that's rather ironic Pete when you consider the 'Bela Lugosi' angle you were exploring earlier in the text, wow.
