BRIDE OF THE MONSTER 1955 (GAIAM)

This classic Ed Wood film stars Bela Lugosi as the mad Eric Vornoff, a scientist trying to create atomic supermen with the help of his assistant Lobo, played by Tor Johnson. Yes the acting is bad and the sets are about 3 dollars worth of equipment, but I realized when I saw this as a child I didn't care, I was just interested in the story, and believe it or not the same is true today.

It may not be the best of this kind of film, but all the negative crap that has been written about it has been way overblown. Good fun for undiscriminating viewers. The cast also includes many Wood regulars such as Harvey B. Dunn, Paul Marco and Delores Fuller plus newcomers Loretta King as the woman Bela wants to keep as his own and Tony McCoy as the heroic police office Lt. Craig. If you haven't seen it give it a try.
