Bride of the Monster/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: It wouldn't be an Ed Wood film without one. This one ends with a nuclear explosion for no reason at all, except for executive producer Donald McCoy insisting the film end with one.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Bela Lugosi's "I have no home," speech was done in one take and on the first try after some people were afraid that it would be too much for him to memorize. After the take, the cast and crew gave him a standing ovation.
  • Ham and Cheese: Lugosi, in his final speaking role, no less.
  • Memetic Mutation: "He tampered in God's domain."—it became virtually a Catch Phrase in future experiments.
  • So Bad It's Good: Even with the overuse of Stock Footage, hammy acting, and Special Effects Failure, Bride is reasonably coherent and watchable. It's no worse than most of the other B-movies of The Fifties.
  • Special Effects Failure: The octopus stands out.
