    Director: Edward D. Wood Jr.
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    Watch now: Included in all packages with LOVEFiLM Instant

    Starring: Bela Lugosi,  Bela Lugosi,  Tor Johnson
    Director: Edward D. Wood Jr.
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    To most outside observers, Bride of the Monster probably seems like a ridiculously inept horror film, and in many ways it is just that. To connoisseurs of the work of director Edward D.

  • Voodoo Man (1944)
    Starring: Bela Lugosi,  Bela Lugosi,  John Carradine
    Director: William Beaudine
    Certificate: Certificate: TBC
    Though no more expensive or ambitious than any of his earlier Sam Katzman-produced vehicles, Bela Lugosi's Voodoo Man is perhaps the best of the batch, if only because of its quirky supporting cast and casually offbeat dialogue. Lugosi plays Dr. Marlowe, a practitioner of voodoo who kidnaps nubile ..read more »
