Review of Bride of the Monster (1955) by Sylvester K — 11 Jun 2016

Here's a legendary Ed Wood masterpiece. Due to financial failure, and unedited mistakes throughout the movie (his signature), this was a charmer. Note:contributions from a church, with the promise of a box office hit - was what got this movie finished.

Unfortunately the movie was a flop. Maybe it was the massive Octopus (they stole from another set, to use for the action scene), that captured my attention. This mutated monster guarded the abandoned old haunted house that was being used for Dr.

Vornoff's science lab (hidden behind a secret fire place). Lobo (Tor Johnson) played Lugosi's mutated giant assistant! So awesome. If you notice, Tor falls back in a fight, and almost tore down Ed Wood's incredibly cheap cardboard set.

Amazing. The Dr, failed at tested his first human subject, and was on a mission to find another. Reporters compared some similarities to a previous case, to a Loch Ness Monster hidden in a lake nearby.

There's a wonderfully cheesy snake creatures, alligator things,in a disgusting swamp... it's a must see.
