Which Ed Wood film are Jerry, George and Elaine trying to see in 'The Chinese Restaurant'?

In “The Chinese Restaurant,” Jerry, George, and Elaine are trying to see Ed Wood’s Plan 9 from Outer Space.

The film matters because it is playing for one night only, giving the trio a deadline while they wait unsuccessfully for a table at the Chinese restaurant. Jerry treats the screening as a rare event and insists that the movie is more significant than an ordinary night out.

Plan 9 from Outer Space was written and directed by Edward D. Wood Jr. and is widely associated with low-budget science fiction and horror. Its story involves aliens resurrecting the dead to stop humanity from creating a weapon capable of destroying the universe. The film’s famously crude effects and unusual dialogue later made it a cult classic.

The other answer choices are also Ed Wood films, which makes the question especially easy to mix up. Bride of the Monster preceded Plan 9, while Night of the Ghouls followed it; Glen or Glenda is Wood’s earlier exploitation drama about gender identity and cross-dressing.
