For years, conventional wisdom has had it that Ed Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space is the ultimate "bad movie," a sort of Holy Grail of cinematic ineptitude. Often lost in the shuffle, though, is Bride of the Monster (fans of Tim Burton's biopic Ed Wood will already be familiar with it and the offscreen misadventures that went along with it). Bela Lugosi plays Dr. Vornoff, a mad scientist working on a race of superbeings in his lab. His process of clamping a metal lampshade onto the heads of his subjects and zapping them with radiation usually kills them, but the monstrous Lobo (Tor Johnson) survives and becomes Vornoff's assistant. Vornoff's plans go awry, though, when he tries to get a nosy reporter to mate with Lobo and winds up being given the atom treatment himself. Suffice it to say that there's a grappling match between Vornoff and Lobo until the evil doctor falls into a pit and wrestles a rubber octopus. Stock footage of lightning and an atomic explosion round things out for a great non sequitur of an ending. Knowing Bela Lugosi's sad state by the time that he and Ed Wood had teamed up makes it hard to watch this movie without feeling a pang of pathos for the 73-year-old actor; indeed, Bride was his last speaking role. Still, any movie with as many obvious gaffes in direction, editing, set design, narrative (heck, take your pick) as Bride is a must for any connoisseur of bad movies. And of course, the gargantuan Tor Johnson gets to utter the deathless line: "Time for... go to bed." --Jerry Renshaw

Bride of the Monster, aka Bride of the Atom
An Ed Wood film. Need I say more?
Bela Lugosi's last speaking part in this 1956 campy silliness as a mad doctor who somehow makes a fierce octopus that grabs people that walk too near Lake Marsh. The two guys who first get it are commenting on how unnatural the lightning is, and this is most likely caused by atomic bombs. Of course we don't listen to that, those are just a couple of superstitious hunters, right?

Irresistible Monogram film. At the top of the list of movies that qualify for genre So-bad-that's-it's-good. Poverty Row films were filmed in 2-5 days with cardboard sets, wierd music (if any), preposterous plots, bad acting by actors required to wear their own clothes instead of being supplied with costumes, etc..
Bela is known for appearing in about 10 of these amusingly ghastly films. However--Lugosi always gave it his All, no matter how dreadful the script or working conditions. He never ... Read More

Prime nonsense from the imagination of Ed Wood, featuring his regular "stock company" (Paul Marco, Tor Johnson, Dolores Fuller). BRIDE OF THE MONSTER is arguably his most polished and coherent effort, though it's of course also loaded with the stiff dialogue, clunky special effects and clumsy continuity errors we all love from this masterly moviemaker whose heart and best intentions were always in the right place.
Bela Lugosi is zany Dr. Vornoff, who lives in a ramshackle mansion in the ... Read More

First of all,let me clarify something:Tor Johnson does not say "time for go to bed" in this movie,but it was the turkey "The Unearthly" starring John Carradine instead.Second,please do not take this movie seriously,even thought it tries to be.At least in Ed Wood's mind,that is.This is a bad movie,but still lots of fun.Third,Ed Wood was NOT the worst director.That award goes to Coleman Francis who did the awful "Red Zone Cuba" and The Beast of Yucca Flats";just to name a couple..The octopus in this movie ...
