This post is part of the So Bad It’s Good Blogathon, an event celebrating bad movies. At the end I’ll tell you where you can find more posts like this.

A lot of good movies came out in 1955: Oklahoma! Guys and Dolls. Rebel Without a Cause. Movies fondly remembered, and in some cases, cherished, to this day. Legendary directors like Hitchcock, Wilder, Preminger, and more were active that year, working with stars like Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and James Dean.

And then there was Ed Wood. 

Who made a movie called Bride of the Monster.

Really.
