(1962) - B&W - 72 min
LikeTelevision™ proudly presents - The Brain That Wouldn't Die, (a.k.a. the Head that Wouldn't Die) a science fiction classic from 1962 and perhaps one of the worst films ever made. Which is why it is so AWESOME! Folks, this is Ed Wood, Plan Nine from Outer Space bad... a true horror movie in so many ways. A pompous windbag doctor named Bill Cortner gets in a car accident with his girlfriend. She loses her head (i.e. decapitated).. but Bill doesn't. Why - he's gonna find a sweet young girl's body and transplant it on the head of his girlfriend. Trust me - this movie is a real whopper and lots of fun.

Bill, his dad, and Jan in happier times - before Jan loses her head

Virginia Leith is Jan Compton, Cortner's girlfriend - who spends most of the movie with her talking head on a table - hooked up to all kinds of whacky sci-fi gear. Her performance is what makes the movie so funny. Why oh Why - did he not just let her die in the car wreck. Talk about high maintenece.

Kurt the assistant goes head to head with Jan

Part one
Intro, B&W, title screens, credits, etc. The movie begins with a scene at the operating table. You'll love how Bill's dad makes his move to cut into the chest. So realistic - wow! Then Jan and Bill head out to the country when Bill gets a frantic call from Kurt

Part two
Watch out - dangerous curves ahead! Bill ends up sprinting - and resting a little, and sprinting back to the estate to quickly get the lost head under control

Part three
You know what - Jan doesn't like Bill anymore - in fact she hates him. Oh yeah, and she has power. And bad breath probably - she certainly has a lot of nasty things to say.
