As a young sci-fi horror genre fan in the early 60's The Brain That Wouldn't Die was on the cover of the first Famous Monster of Filmland magazine I ever bought. Unlike today a movie such as this had to be seen in a theatre or drive-in or you didn't see it. There was no VHS or DVD copy of it. Well I only had the article about it along with the few photos that appeared in the magazine to go on. It took many years before I got to see it and by then my interest in Sci-Fi and horror films was not quite as passionate as it was when I had been much younger. The filming is only a tad above The Creeping Terror and the story is well.....hokey but it's one of those films that you just have to love because of this. Another number of years went by before I got to see it again recently on AMC. By then it was like I had never seen it before.
