Plan 9 from outer space: former 8 plans?

[frank]

Did you ever wonder why Eros and Tanna came up with such a crappy plan to conquer earth? And it was already the ninth plan! One would think they should learn a thing or two along the way. So I would definitely like to know what the first eight plans were.

For the start-up, here is a suggestion for plan 1:

Two of the aliens (Amor and Jenna?) land with their flying saucer in some remote desert town. At night, or probably at daytime, randomly switching from take to take, they sneak into the houses and tie together all shoe laces, so people won´t be able to walk around (for food, reproduction, defence against the alien invasion squad…). At dawn, or dusk, or noon, or midnight, depending on who is acting, the whole invasion squad of at least five very human looking aliens arrives, intending to take over the town. Townsfolk, however, appear barefoot in the streets and fight back the aliens. These flee into the saucers, they take off, and the flying machines explode….plan 1 failed.
Ed Wood would probably be able to paste this together from scaps of other movies....

What do you think were the following plans?

Plan 2 has to Killers from Space.  Aliens branwashing Peter Graves and used as a spy by aliens.  Any aliens with ping-pong balls for eyes have to be related to Eros....

 I'm thinking the previous eight plans were never used because they all involved Bela Lugosi...but he died. So they threw them out the window...and went with Plan 9.  Or mebbe not. Mebbe the other eight plans involved more money and better actors.

 Oh! By the way...welcome!  Hmmm. you look a little like someone I know...the cape looks familiar...

"Oh yes PLAN 9...deals with the resurrection of the dead..." 

PLAN 3 deals with the internment of the living... but they fought tooth and nail!  Them peoples sure have sharp teeth and long nails!

PLAN 4 had aliens cornering the angora market, then creating an artificial shortage of comfy sweaters.  Scrapped as insufficiently demoralizing when preliminary studies indicated that only one-sixth of Earth soldiers were transvestites with an angora fetish.

I'm sure at least one of those plans involved either securing a loan from the bank for money to be spent on special effects or thesucessful completion of a model spacecraft. Both of those missions failed miserably.

PLAN 5 involved Bela Lugosi creating a race of atomic supermen with the help of Tor Johnson, an old photo enlarger, a colander, and a rubbery octopus.

It failed when Tor developed a heart of gold and Lugosi fell on the octopus.

 So which Plan invloved Bela Lugosi, Glenn in a dress,  Satan ,and a herd of buffalo?

Nothing is known about Plan 6, it was considered too dumb for even otherworldly beings to pick up on and was quickly scrapped by the matian high ocuncil.

I forgot: Thanks for the welcome! This is a terrific site! It is actually quite distracting from work (not sure if that´s good or bad). And on top of it, now I got this image in my mind of a bunch of soldiers wearing pink angora sweaters, which is a little disturbing....

Plan 8 was developed in response to the failure of the previous seven. Somebody actually got the idea to learn what makes humans tick by sending a scouting party to live amongst us as a college professor and his family. Unfortunately, it was considered too cautious and they skipped straight to the next plan. They didn't revisit Plan 8 until much later.

That one came much later - PLAN 69.

not sure about plan 7 but i know plan 10 has something to do with reality TV and politicians.
