Poster of the Week … ‘Bride of the Monster’ (1955)

Submitted by Travis on Sunday, 12 October 2008No Comment

Title: Bride of the Monster (1955)
Director: Edward D. Wood, Jr.
Dimensions: 41″ x 27″

Plot:

Lugosi’s character, Dr. Eric Vornoff, is experimenting with atomic energy in a primitive laboratory in his mansion. His goal is to create an army of mutated supermen to do his bidding. Newspaper reporter Janet Lawton Dolores starts investigating, as do the local police. Meanwhile, an East German “monster hunter”, Professor Strowksi, is creeping around trying to persuade Dr. Vornoff to return to their homeland. — Wikipedia

Trivia:

  • This was Ed Wood’s only financially successful film upon original release.
  • The prop octopus was stolen from Republic Studios and was constructed for the John Wayne film Wake of the Red Witch (1948). The motor which controlled the octopus’ tentacles was not stolen with it, as is obvious to the casual viewer. Additionally, one of the tentacles was torn off in the process of stealing it out of the property room. — IMDB
