Seeders have the complete download. 0 downloading · 1 completed downloads.
Open the .torrent file in your torrent client to start. It includes the webseed. A magnet link opens your client directly; it may need peers to find the file details. No account needed.
First download? Start here
- Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
- Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
- Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
- Once it finishes, open the downloaded files. Leave the torrent in your client to share it with others.

Download not starting?
- If a magnet does nothing, open your client first or use Download .torrent and open the saved file from the client.
- If the client is waiting for metadata, try the .torrent file. It already includes the file details and available webseed fallbacks.
- Check that the torrent is not paused or queued, your destination has enough free space, and your connection is online.
- A recent seeder report is not a guarantee of a connection now. Webseeds can also be temporarily unavailable; leave the client open and try again later.
You do not need an account to download.

Keep your torrent client open afterward to share this copy with the Den.
The Feature
Aliens resurrect the dead to stop humanity from building a doomsday weapon, using hubcaps, a shower curtain, and Bela Lugosi's chiropractor holding a cape over his face to stand in for Lugosi, who had died early in production. Ed Wood's masterpiece is inept in every department and completely sincere in all of them, which is precisely why it endures while competent films of the same year have vanished. Watch it with other people.
The copy we chose
Print Report
Chosen print (2026-08-17): Archive.org item plan.-9.-from.-outer.-space.-1957, file Plan 9 From Outer Space (1957)/mp4/Plan.9.From.Outer.Space.1957.mp4 — 1.4 GB, 1424x1072, 78.3 min.
Complete 1.4 GB print correctly dated by the 1957 premiere (several fine-looking items are dated 1959 by the general release). Culled along the way: the AI-colorized 4K/60fps upscale and a RiffTrax copy.
Selected from our vetted candidate queue after the automated reject rules and the owner eye-pass. Torrent generated from this exact file on 2026-08-17; that torrent is what the swarm carries.
Public Domain
Why It's Free
Public domain by long-standing distribution consensus: published 1957, renewal required in the 28th year and by all accounts never filed. The renewal window (1984–85) falls in the Copyright Office's post-1977 online records rather than the scanned CCE volumes, so the online renewal search is the named remaining verification step before the torrent publishes.
