Bride of the Monster is a 1955 American independent science fiction horror film co-written, produced, and directed by Edward D. Wood Jr. The story follows Dr. Erich Vornoff (portrayed by Bela Lugosi in his final speaking role), a fugitive scientist conducting experiments with atomic radiation to create enhanced supermen at a secluded island laboratory. Supporting roles include Tor Johnson as Vornoff's mute assistant Lobo, Tony McCoy as investigative reporter Dick Craig, and Loretta King as Craig's fiancée Janet Lawton. The film is considered to have Wood's biggest budget at $70,000. Production commenced in 1954 but, due to funding shortages, was not completed until 1955. It was released in May 1955 under the original title Bride of the Atom, initially on a double bill with Macumba. In February 1956, it played (retitled Bride of the Monster) at drive-ins on a double feature with The Beast with a Million Eyes.
