Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the Katharine Coldiron signing, for that is where you and I are going to get autographed copies of the Plan 9 from Outer Space Midnight Movie Monograph. And remember my friend, events such as this will happen at Forbidden Planet NYC on Sunday March 27th from 3:30 to 5PM. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are going to come to this event on that fateful day. My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. Let us get signed copies of Katharine’s book! My friend, can your heart stand an event this shocking?
About the book:
Plan 9 from Outer Space has been called the worst movie of all time. Studying such a film would seem needless, more painful than profitable. Katharine Coldiron takes the plunge anyway, and discovers, in the world of bad film, creative insight and practical lessons on how to make good art. She also breaks down, scene by scene, exactly how incompetent Plan 9 is. Full of good humor and backed by thousands of hours of research, this book offers a new perspective on how bad art fits into a well-rounded film education.
“A genuine treasure for Ed Wood fans.” —Andrew J. Rausch, coauthor, The Cinematic Misadventures of Ed Wood
“I thoroughly enjoyed Katharine Coldiron’s deep dive into Ed Wood’s schlock classic Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not only is it a hilarious, super-detailed analysis of what goes wrong, scene after scene, but it serves as a generous appreciation of the skill and vision it takes to make an actual good movie. It’s great fun.” —Bill Corbett, writer & cast member, Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax
“Katharine Coldiron expertly breaks down why Plan 9 is so unique. It is both great and terrible, awful, yet beautiful. This is an endlessly entertaining read and it’s all true! But can your heart stand the shocking facts?” —Dana Gould, writer, comedian, spearheader of Plan 9 live shows

Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
