The Brain That Wouldn't Die

This is hilarious... there's no other word for it. Poor old "Jan" (Virginia Leith) is decapitated in a road accident - but, hey, don't fret pet - her doctor fianceé "Bill" has the solution and before long her head is alive and well and sitting in a basin of live giving fluid (might have been whiskey?). Determined to find her a body, our intrepid surgeon alights on Adele Lamont ("Doris") without realising that his paramour doesn't really want to be saved - she has read the remainder of the script and long since figured that she is better off out of it... The story, dialogue and characters are nonsense from start to finish - indeed, it could be a contender for the "Plan 9" award for the worst sci-i ever made. The ending is diabolical, but not...

This isn't a good movie, but "Keep your G-String on" is the greatest line in Movie History.

Late 50's horror schlock that's actually effective (in some ways)

A modern-day American Dr. Frankenstein wannabe (Jason Evers) tries to find an attractive body for his fiancé (Virginia Leith) after she is decapitated in a car accident. While her head is on life-support the mad doctor searches the dives for the right body and ultimately focuses his attentions on a model with a disfigured face (Adele Lamont). Leslie Daniel plays the doctor's assistant while Eddie Carmel plays the mysterious thing dwelling in a locked room.

This was shot in B&W in 1959, but not released until 1962 due to its lurid and lewd excesses.

It's easy to sneer in bemused contempt at old low-budget horror movies like this after the advent of blockbusters...
