History YMMV / BrideOfTheMonster

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Despite the shitty dialog and plot, Creator/BelaLugosi still shows his acting chops and goes out in style.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Vornoff's MotiveRant about how he was cruelly rejected by colleagues who once saw him as a genius becomes fairly tragic if you view it as a reflection of what Lugosi's own career had become.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: It wouldn't be an Ed Wood 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.

* HamAndCheese: Lugosi, in his final speaking role, no less.

* TearJerker: Despite the shitty dialog and plot, Bela Lugosi still shows his acting chops and goes out in style.

* MemeticMutation: "He tampered in God's domain." -- it became virtually a CatchPhrase in future experiments.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Dr. Vornoff's MotiveRant about how he was cruelly rejected by colleagues who once saw him as a genius becomes fairly tragic if you view it as a reflection of what Lugosi's own career had become in his later years.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: One occurred during the filming. Ed Wood thought that Bela Lugosi, aging and ravaged by addictions, wouldn't be up to reciting his big monologue from memory and so insisted on having Paul Marco hold up cue cards for him. Lugosi knew he could do it and made Marco promise not to hold up the cards for him. When the scene came, Marco kept the cards out of sight and Lugosi recited the whole thing perfectly without so much as glancing at him. When he finished, the whole crew gave him a standing ovation.

** This could also be considered ExecutiveMeddling. Donald McCoy also insisted his son Tony play the lead, and he's a bad actor even by ED WOOD standards.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Bela Lugosi's "I have no home," speech was done in one take and on the first try after some people were afraid that it would be too much for him to memorize. After the take, the cast and crew gave him a standing ovation.
