So Bad It’s Worse

The Star Wars Holiday special was so terrible that George Lucas tries to act like it never existed. He gave the rights to "variety TV guys" to create the special and it was widely panned.

Plan 9 is a reference to Plan 9 from Outer Space, a 1959 science fiction/horror film written, and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr. The film bills Bela Lugosi posthumously as a star, although footage of the actor was shot by Wood for another film just before Lugosi’s death. The plot of the film is focused on 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.
For years, the film played on television in relative obscurity, until 1980, when author Michael Medved dubbed Plan 9 from Outer Space the “worst movie ever made”. It has also earned Wood a posthumous Golden Turkey Award (an award of Medved’s creation) as the worst director ever. Various critics since have concurred with this opinion.
Rocky Horror is a reference to the film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a 1975 British musical comedy film that parodies science fiction and B-movie Horror films.[1] Still in limited release 34 years after its premiere, it has the longest-running theatrical release in film history.[2][3] It gained notoriety as a midnight movie in 1977 when audiences began participating with the film in theaters across the United States. “Rocky Horror” is the first movie from a major film studio, such as 20th Century Fox, to be in the midnight movie market.[4] Widely known by mainstream audiences, it has a large international following and is one of the most well known and financially successful midnight movies of all time.[5] In 2005, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
