Bride of the Monster (1955)

aka Bride of the Atom

How bad is it? It's an Ed Wood film with Bela Lugosi and Tor Johnson, in other words, BAD.
Should you see it? Yes, though it's lesser Woods

The story behind this film is that it was going to be pitched to a studio and real actors were slated to appear in it, but Woods got an offer from a guy to pay for the film if his son could star. His son couldn't act. The plot's less formless than most Woods films and the dialog's not as strange. There's one very funny moment, as Lugosi wrestles with a very obviously fake octopus.
