Fifty-nine years ago today, the film The Brain That Wouldn’t Die premiered as half of a double bill with Invasion of the Star Creatures. Due to a flawed copyright notice, it has always been in the public domain and has had several versions, one three minutes longer that advertised extra gore and an extended stripper catfight scene. It’s been featured on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, adapted into at least four musicals and one satirical film, and Jack Nicholson’s character goes into great detail of the movie plot in Heartburn.
This episode is also available as a blog post.
