Just viewed BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1956) starring Bela Logosi and directed by Ed Wood. The film is another classic of Ed Wood that is in league wiith PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE, NIGHT OF THE GOULS, and GLENN OR GLENDA. If you like Ed Wood movies then you'll like this one with the fake octopus, Tor Johnson, and wacky police.
I second your opinion. This movie is just hilarious!
