Ed Wood's masterpiece "Bride of the Monster," starring Bela Lugosi and Tor Johnson, the Swedish wrestling star, will be the feature film at this month's Bad Film Society meeting at 6 p.m. Sunday, November 17 at the Ashland Elks downstairs.

Bela Lugosi only got $1000 for this, his last speaking role. He uses a kitchen colander helmet, an oscilloscope and a photographic enlarger to carry out his nefarious plans. "You will be soon as bick as a chiant! De strent of tventy men," he muses happily to one victim as he adjusts the photo enlarger. "Or, like all de otters . . . det!" Huge, blubbery Tor Johnson plays his mindless servant, Lobo. The giant rubber octopus prop was stolen from Republic Studios. They managed to lop one of the tentacles off while stealing it and forgot to get the motor that ran the tentacles, so the actors had to wrap themselves up in them to simulate an attack. Hilarious!
