Tony Schaab’s anthology, BEFORE PLAN 9: PLANS 1-8 FROM OUTER SPACE, describes the aliens’ failed eight plans prior to PLAN 9 as envisioned by Ed Wood in his classic film, with stories by myself plus Jonathan Maberry, Joe McKinney, David Dunwoody and other great authors. My contribution, told with the same kind of humor unintentionally rife in the campy film, describes an encounter between two star-crossed teenagers in the 1950s with the aliens, resulting in PLAN 8, which involves an enlarging ray turning ordinary insects into giant monsters. The result is an homage both to Ed Wood’s classic and the giant bug monster movies of the ’50s.
