So Now for all those ‘JUNE-Brides’, this week DITA brings you a Documentary that wuz made for Television back in 1999 that I thoroughly enjoyed when it aired on the ‘AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS’ Channel called ‘BRIDE OF MONSTERMANIA’!!! It wuz of course Hosted by one of our favorite Horror Hosts of all time & Icon-For-Gays; 'ELVIRA!’

In fact, Elvira once Hosted; 'GAY-NIGHT' at our Local Theme Park here in Cali that DITA just loves; 'KNOTTS SCARY FARM'. DITA even remembers her Special-Ride that Year wuz called; 'Elvira's Red Moon Massacre' with A 'Little Red Riding Hood' & Werewolves Theme! No foolin! Ah, ELVIRA, GAY-MARRIAGE & Bridal-Themed Horror Flicks, Oh my!!!

Now this Documentary is not all about Bridal-Themed Horror Movies, but about Women's place in Horror Films throughout the decades, although it does touch on two of DITA’s Favorites, ‘BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN’ & ‘BRIDES OF DRACULA’ of which I have reviewed before here in 'DITA'S-DEN'. This wuz the follow-up Sequel Documentary to ‘MONSTERMANIA’. L-o-v-e it!!!

DITA searched high & low on ‘you-tube’ for a TV Spot of it, and finally found one. To see that fun,campy-Clip Click here ,uh, I mean Simply Click right here> http://youtu.be/Y3tQAI7m864 

Now this fun but very informative Documentary; 'BRIDE OF MONSTERMANIA' starts out with ELVIRA Hosting from a Castle, I think, complete Back lighting of; Green, red and purple! Beautiful! She also has her standard red velvet couch, fog, candle obra’s and Books with a Skull on top setting gothically-cool on her Night-Stand!

ELVIRA opens the Show with a joke about Weddings that goes; Elvira- ‘I’ve never been invited to a lot of Weddings but I ‘HAVE’ been invited to a lot of ‘Bachelor Parties!’  Bah-dump-bump! She slays me!

The Tag-Line on the DVD & BLU-RAY says; ‘FROM VAMPIRE VIXENS & WITCHES TO LAB-MADE LADIES! ‘GIRL GHOULS GALORE! ‘SEE AN HOUR OF THE MOST FATAL FEMALES EVER TO HAUNT THE SILVER SCREAM!’

This fright-tastic Documentary is divide into 3 or 4 Sections starting with ‘VAMPIRES & WITCHES’! Don’t cha’ just love it?  From here ELVIRA does mostly does a 'scare'-rific & smoothly professional ‘Voice-Over’ job witch includes looks at some of the following kick-ass female-themed fright films as follows;
‘MARK OF THE VAMPIRE’ ‘THE VAMPIRE LOVER’S’ (Perfect For L.A.'s; GAY-PRIDE this Weekend!)
‘DRACULA’S DAUGHTER’ ‘LUST FOR A VAMPIRE’
‘BLOOD & ROSES’ ‘TWINS OF EVIL’
‘VAMPIRE CIRCUS’ ‘BRIDES OF DRACULA’ (DITA Reviewed this one in the past.)
‘BLACK SUNDAY’ ‘COUNTESS DRACULA’
’LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM’ ‘DRACULA ‘(Universal 1931)

After the Vampire Segment ends ELVIRA states that ; ‘Being a Vampire really sucks!’ ‘It’s just not natural!’ (Very funny ‘Valley-Girl’ shtick here, kids!)
Then ELVIRA moves on to; ‘FEMALE MONSTERS’; MAN-MADE- witch includes some of these Horror-gems;
‘METROPOLIS’ ‘THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE'
‘BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN‘ (DITA reviewed it.) ‘FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN’
‘’SHE DEVIL’ ‘DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE’
‘SHE DEMONS’ ‘THE STEPFORD WIVES’ (Original)
‘FRANKENSTEIN’S DAUGHTER’

ELVIRA then goes to what she calls; ‘WOMEN POSSESSED’, where she takes a look at and discusses such demonic horror films such as;
‘WHITE ZOMBIE’
‘THE EXORCIST’
‘BEYOND THE DOOR’
‘CARRIE’
‘CAT PEOPLE’ (1982) (DITA loves this extra-gore-y version!)

Last but not least ELVIRA starts the Closing of this Excellent Documentary-Special with a last look at; ‘WOMEN FROM OUTERSPACE’ that includes sci-fi glances at these Films;
‘CAT WOMEN ON THE MOON’ (DITA owns this camp-fest.)
‘DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS’
‘THE ASTOUNDING SHE MONSTER’
‘QUEEN OF BLOOD’ ( Cool, culty Vampire Space-romp.)
‘ALIEN’ ‘ALIENS’ ‘ALIEN 3’ ‘ALIEN 4’ (Sigourney Weaver rocks these Films, hon!!!)

ELVIRA , Our Mistress Of The Dark, then closes with her trademarked, ‘UNPLEASANT DREAMS!’ DITA loved this Documentary with ELVIRA pulling Hosting Duties, quite well & professionally, from beginning to end! Remember to watch it on 'you-tube', 'free & uncut!'

DITA gives ‘BRIDE OF MONSTERMANIA’ my perfect Score of 3 Skulls Out Of 3!!!
