Tonight's Scary Movie: The Brain That Wouldn't Die


Every Halloween week, the Times airs scary classic movies or shows. It has become a tradition.

Tonight's movie is called "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" --
 a 1962 
horror film. This film was completed in 1959 under the working title "The Black Door," but was not theatrically released until May 1962 due to copyright issues.

The film focuses upon a mad doctor who develops a means to keep human body parts alive. He keeps his fiancée's severed head alive for days, and also keeps a lumbering, malformed brute (one of his earlier failed experiments) imprisoned in a closet.

Enjoy tonight's Halloween movie. But be sure to leave on an extra light.
