Bride of the Monster



"Bride of the Monster" is a 1955 horror and sci-fi flick, directed by Edward D. Wood Jr. and starring Bela Lugosi, Loretta King and Tor Johnson. 

Mysterious deaths happened in a jungle swamp near a spooky house. Occupied by a mad scientist conducting strange experiments using atomic power, resulting in eerie thunderstorms. The reporter Janet Lawton covers the story about it and then her car breaks down in the swamp, leaving her at the mercy of snakes and alligators. By chance, Lobo, a monstrous man from the spooky old house, carries her off to become an unwanted bride.

This is jam packed with shocks, including a monster with tentacles lurking near the house! Bela Lugosi plays the sinister mad scientist here, but it was one of his final films playing a villain. This movie does have a sequel named "Night of the Ghouls" made in 1959. The original name idea for "Bride of the Monster" during filming was "Bride of the Atom". 

I rate this a monstrous 7/10
