Movie Summary  Short: Cheverolet Presents Hired! Part 1:  Chevrolet presents Hired! Part 1, the saga of a new salesman trying to sell cars door to door, and his beleaguered boss, who still lives with his parents and who blames himself for his employee's failure. He turns to his parents and Dad straightens him out with some homespun, old-fashioned, whole-grain wisdom.  Movie: Bride Of The Monster:  A film of immense Ed Wood proportions. A waning Bela Lugosi plays mad scientist Dr. Vornoff, with big, brawny, beefy, buttery Tor Johnson as his assistant. Dr. Vornoff subjects some unwitting half-wits to his experiments as he tries to create a superior race of people to take over the world (isn't that always the way?). He feeds the failed experiments to his giant octopus. Dr. Vornoff abducts an intrepid albeit lovely lady reporter who wanders onto his property in search of a story, and tries to make her into a mate for Tor. Tor backfires, kills Dr. Vornoff, and everything ends in a big huge fireball. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Joel monitors Crow's dreams, and Servo is horrified to realize he's in Crow's dream as a cute candy-striper.  Invention:  Dr. Forrester puts Frank in his Tough Loveseat. It has metal studs and provides 110 volts of electricity surging through the Naugahyde. On the SOL, Joel, Tom, and Crow make some microwave Faith Popcorn, which foretells trends like bras for businessmen and grandpa tossing.  Segment 2:  The Satellite of Love Community Theater presents Hired! The Musical! (Hired! Original Broadway Cast).  Segment 3:  Joel, Tom, and Crow discuss the charmed life of the monster in the movie and how his victims just fell right into his lap.  Segment 4:  Servo wishes for a world without advertising. and a be-waffled Crow teaches Tom the error of his thinking.  Segment 5:  Cambot re-edits the final scene of the film, and Joel and the 'Bots do their best to simulate Bela Lugosi's strained look of menace. In Deep I3, Dr. Forrester, in huge platform shoes, is Dr. Vornoff and Frank is Tor Johnson.  Stinger:  Bela Lugosi embarrasses himself beyond words. Reflections This was purportedly Ed Wood's favorite film, and the octopus used in the movie was a prop leftover from a John Wayne film. After the whole place blows up, Harvey B. Dunn muses in the last line of the film, "He tampered in God's domain." It permutated for us writers into "He peppered God's lo mein." "He pampered Todd's ptomaine." "He hampered God's Rogaine." We loved that closing line, and it still crops up sometimes in different variations. — Mary Jo Pehl
