 The original title, "Grave Robbers From Outer Space", was filmed and appeared  on the preview print. The replacement title "Plan Nine From Outer Space" was  filmed and matted over a special effects shot showing the alien space  station. The original title was simply cut out and the new title footage  spliced onto the negative. The footage of Criswell introducing the film as  "Grave Robbers From Outer Space" was left unchanged.
