My favorite character in Plan 9 is patrolman Kelton. During the entire movie this poor guy has to climb inside an open grave with only a match for illumination, gets knocked out TWICE by the zombies, and is accused of being drunk when he calls for backup.

Who's your favorite character?

Because of death! Because you earthlings are idiots!

Eros. The character is hilariously inept at his mission, but the actor brings an endearing what seems to be genuine earnestness to the role.

I find Eros amusing.I always laugh when his response to the question of why he has come to Earth: "Because of death. Because you are IDIOTS!!!.

Yeah. His wordsmithery is another great part to his character isn't it? Well, in his its own way anyway. 

Another thing about Eros that makes me laugh is the scene where he's explaining (or trying to) what solorbonite is.

Lieutenant Harper in his white trenchcoat wandering about that spooky cemetery. The actor, Duke Moore, was a lieutenant again in another of Ed Wood's movies. 'Night of the Ghouls' (1959).

My favorite character is the map of the National Parks that's on the wall in a high-ranking general's office!

I can't remember anybody's name, but I'd say Tor Johnson, "Stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!", Vampira, and fake Lugosi.
