Bride of Monster Mania #2 (2000)

Bride of Monster Mania chronicles the evolution of women in horror films from hapless victim to empowered heroine - and specifically how some of these films reflected the changing role of women in society - featuring a sensational array of footage from silent films, classic horror, contemporary favorites and state-of-the-art science fiction. Prepare for the most bewitching collection of female-driven horror unleashed on the screen. Highlights include spectacular clips from all-time horror favorites Bride of Frankenstein (1935), The Exorcist (1973), The Stepford Wives (1975), Carrie (1976) and many more; a glimpse at ultimate sci-fi heroine "Ripley" as played by Sigourney Weaver in Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992) and Alien Resurrection (1997); enchanting footage of Dracula's alluring feminine counterparts in Dracula's Daughter (1936), The Brides of Dracula (1960), Twins of Evil (1971) and many more. Hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

ANOTHER EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY BUT ALL THREE VOLUMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMBINED!

This is the second documentary in a series of three. The DVD runs about 50 minutes and is packed with great footage and juicy horror tid bits. 'Bride of Monster Mania' focuses on the women of horror. I actually learned more from this one than the first DVD and found this "doc" to be worthy of any horror fans collection. Elvira is back, not only to introduce the program this time, but to narrate. My only gripe is that with the short length of these features they should have been combined on one DVD to save buyer's of this product shelf space and money.....Oh greed is a terrible thing! :-( March 12, 2008

ITS ABOUT TIME

I first saw this during AMC's Monsterfest a few years ago. And what took
so long for female horror characters to be recognized. I bought this a
month ago when I noticed it was available. This DVD helped as being a guide to discovering other horror movies. And Elvira as host added that touch. The DVD describes how woman shapped horror movies from the silent films to today. I do highly recomend this DVD for all horror fans. May 6, 2007
