Musty TV's Maniacal Movie Countdown - Day 9

Tonight at 10PM, Turner Classic Movies brings us what is, unarguably, the best horror movie to ever star a severed head sitting in a lab tray full of magic science liquid.

I speak, of course, of The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

This movie has everything: Pin-Up Girls; Mangled Hands; Monster in a Closet Only to Be Released in Case of Emergency. Flishkeys. (It's that thing of when a monster starts to give you a hickey but ends up biting a chunk of your neck off instead.)

A scarf will cover up that flishkey, no prob.

You can also watch The Brain That Wouldn't Die on Amazon Prime, or for even more fun, watch "Mystery Science Theater 3000"'s version right here!

If I'm remembering correctly, this is the one with the gorilla creature behind the locked door that yanks a guy's arm off. If this is the one, that is one of maybe five images that deeply haunted me throughout my childhood.

Well, he's not so much a gorilla creature, as a Jewish circus performer in a Zippy the Pinhead skull cap. But he does rip an arm off! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Carmel
