The Bride of the Monster Trailer (1955)

[TheOrderoftheOwl]

Ed Wood was a genius, I don't care what anyone says. 

[boru1982]

I cant believe what Im reading. Ed Wood is sometimes characterised as the worst director who ever lived, and this is the quintessential Ed Wood movie. Its full of strange characters badly acted, situations that are minimally explained. Almost everything about it is supremely dreadful....

Lugosi is turned into an atomic monster via the use of platform shoes. Need I say more?

Dec. 24, 1970: I saw Santa Claus smooching behind a potted plant with the guy who owns the laundromat. There are 2 explanations and only one involves quarters for the washing-machines.

[MrGhostbustersclan]

@ParadiseOnLand That is like the most random thing I've ever read.

[McLarenMercedes]

Had home video started a decade earlier and his movies been offered for sale I am willing to bet Ed Wood would have had a small number of fans in his final days.

Unfortunately Wood only gained "mainstream" fame after his death and when he was voted worst film maker of all time.

Grande Bela, Grande.

this horror film historian loves films like this. BRIDE OF THE MONSTER so bad its good bad sets acting and lighting snd music but not half as bad as made out to all of us. lUGOSI always gave a good performance regardless. i have this on dvd i enjoy it. PLAN 9 aint so bad either. these films are Citizen Kane i grant you but its ok. lets enjoy these little shockers not analuze it. they were fun. ill buy it. sny feedback out there? Thanks horror film fans. TOMK

[benfrenzy]

i don't know why plan 9 is always getting the bad rap. this movie is much worse, and not as enjoyable.

Strangely, this trailer is better than the movie itself. The editing is excellent.

[noraMaiden]

oh, really great

[Agentbromsnor]

This reminds me of those monster-movie spoofs in that cartoon Angry beavers.

[wellilovegossipgirl]

I have this on dvd.

[MikePortnoyz]

i wish i could have been alive at the times to tell ed wood that after all, it was a good movie!

[only257]

good trailer but hiliarously made fun by mystery science theater 3000 though!!!

[TheForgottenFlesh]

OK this is probably never going to get answered but I figured I'd ask anyway. Does anyone know what type of camera Ed Wood shot his films with? I mean films like Bride, Plan 9, Ghouls ect. If anyone knows please tell me. Thanks

[larsnord]

35mm.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

Really? Wow I always thought it was 16mm because of the grain. Plus I didn't know Ed could even afford 35mm. Thanks for the info tho

[eerik123455]

Ed Wood probably got most of his 35 mm film stock from expensive film productions that would often discard B/W negative film if the film camera ran too low. Producers didn't want to risk ruining a shot by shooting too close to end of a roll, so they would often discard these ends, even if they contained many good minutes of unexposed stocks. Using a cheap development process and poor lighting probably added to the grainy results.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

Wicked I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

[Alexsplat2]

Wow never knew that

[MrsLovett112]

Somehow I don't get how Bela Lugosi was that amazing in this. Perhaps with a better script, maybe.

[hakikifeyk]

My favourite part is Bela acts like octopus killing him, but octopus does not give a shit.

[SingPsyc]

Damn, Landau fucking NAILED that role in "Ed Wood"! No wonder he deserved (and got) the Oscar.

[cha5]

Except for little things like Landau as Lugosi cursing out Karloff constantly, Never happened according to Lugosi's son, Lugosi had a rivalry with Karloff yes but they both respected each other as professionals in real life too much for antics like that.

[Quetzacoatl2]

its show biz, whaddayagona do?

anyhow, Ed Wood probably is the best film i EVER saw!

[FlowerchildChannel]

agreed. one of the best Tim Burton films. :)

[bylinawaltz]

Thanks for the info-check.:) It's nice to know that about Lugosi and Karloff.

[rikdingles]

home. i have no home....

[jack2breeze]

i saw this in a theater back in 2004 at ED WOODSTOCK hosted by Reverend Steve who`s the leader of The Church of Ed Wood which is a legal religion. It was shown on dvd and some special effects were added to the movie which i thought kind of took away from the low budget fun of how the movie supposed to be but i had a good time.

[ludwigvan17]

In all honesty, Lugosi's performance in this was excellent.

[Mality]

Especially the life and death struggle with the octopus...

[buttscrew12]

A good movie. Wonder where Wood first got the idea from it. And I wonder what the hell was going through his head when he stole the rubber octapus.

[DWIproductions]

fuckin A!

[TheForgottenFlesh]

My Favourite movie of all time
