| 1 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: It wouldn't be an Creator/EdWood film without one. This one ends with a nuclear explosion for no reason at all, except for executive producer Donald [=McCoy=] insisting the film end with one. |
| 2 | * HamAndCheese: Creator/BelaLugosi, in his final speaking role, no less. |
| 3 | * MemeticMutation: "He tampered in God's domain." -- it became virtually a CatchPhrase in [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E23BrideOfTheMonster future experiments]]. |
| 4 | * SoBadItsGood: Even with the overuse of StockFootage, hammy acting, and SpecialEffectsFailure, ''Bride'' is reasonably coherent and watchable. It's no worse than most of the other B-movies of TheFifties. |
| 5 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: The octopus stands out; supposedly the crew either forgot the motor that made the limbs move or couldn't afford to hire it, resulting in the actors having to flail around and make it look like they were being attacked. Surprisingly enough, Ed Wood actually doesn't do ''too'' bad a job of working around this problem in the first and last scenes where we see the octopus, using quick editing along with rain and lighting effects to obscure how unconvincing it looks. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about Dr. Strowski's death scene, every second of which looks laughably fake. |
| 6 | * TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Despite the shitty dialog and plot, Creator/BelaLugosi still shows his acting chops and goes out in style. Special mention goes to the famous "Home? I have no home" speech, which would be grade-A {{Narm}} by anyone else's standards, but Lugosi manages to turn into a TearJerker. |
