Sinister Urge is probably my all time favorite MST3K

Defintly BRIDE OF THE MONSTER.
The main reason,of course,is Lugosi.
The man was 72,recovering from drug addiction and divorce, and gives a performance in a z-budget picture as if it was the most important part of his life.And,in a way,it was.He had not had a major role since OLD MOTHER RILEY MEETS THE VAMPIRE in 1951 (which didn't see widespread release in the US untill 1963), and hadn't been in a legit studio film since ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948). He had hoped that this would somehow be a comeback of sorts. But more important,  I think it made him feel he could still do it-that he never gave up. It was also his last real part in a movie... in.the BLACK SLEEP (1956) he had no dialog,and he never even knew about PLAN 9.
Along with DRACULA,WHITE ZOMBIE,the RAVEN,and SON OF FRANKENSTEIN,this is one of my favorite Lugosi films.
Oh yeah...extra points for Tor Johnson,the octopus,and the mushroom cloud!

Oh yeah...and the speech....

Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
