Conrad Brooks, Ed Woods friend and actor in Bride of the Monster Ed Woods Bride of the Monster isnt the directors most famous film, or the most beloved, either, but it is the best work the obsessive and resourceful Wood ever did. Loopy and retro even in its own day, Bride gets fabulous treatment in this engrossing volume, with Gary D. Rhodess carefully researched account of the pictures development, shoot, and exhibition. I enjoyed exploring details of the films tangled chronology, Bela Lugosis casting and performance, and differences between script and finished film. Plus, images and extras I never imagined Id see. I love Ed, I love Bela and I love Bride of the Monster. David J. Hogan, author of Dark Romance: Sexuality in the Horror Film and Film Noir FAQ. When it comes to throwing the spotlight on American cinemas dark corners that have been forgotten or ignored by critics, few people possess the breadth of knowledge, archival research expertise and ability to construct fascinating histories as Gary D. Rhodes. In this volume, and continuing his longstanding work on Bela Lugosi, Rhodes unearths and contextualizes with his usual, meticulous scholarship a wealth of material related to the final film in which Lugosi starred. A real treat not just for Lugosi fans, but also for those with an interest in the way American filmmaking was practiced in the periphery of Hollywood.
