News Silver Scream Spook Show: Bride of the Monster
Posted by Curt Holman @Curt_Holman on Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Since Halloween takes place next Friday, The Silver Scream Spook Show at The Plaza Theatre celebrates a little early with 1955's Bride of the Monster, screening at 1 and 10 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 25. Notorious director Ed Wood depicts a mad scientist (Bela Lugosi) with a hulking manservant (former wrestler Tor Johnson), a suspiciously rubber-looking octopus and a plan to create a race of "atomic supermen." It's marginally better than Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space, in much the same way that being hit with a 10-pound weight is "better" than being hit with a 20-pound weight. One of the best scenes of Tim Burton's Ed Wood biopic re-creates Lugosi's fight with the octopus, as shown in this clip with Johnny Depp and Oscar-winner Martin Landau. Here's the original trailer:
