Part of the Flying Saucer Cinema Series
This iconic no-budget sci-fi shocker concerns a mad scientist who carelessly decapitates his fiancé in a car crash and then keeps her head alive in a baking dish while searching for a perfect body on which to reanimate her. Sleazy? Repugnant? Gratuitous? For sure. Brilliant? Unparalleled? Groundbreaking? Yowza! The Brain That Wouldn’t Die is one of those so over-the-top films that one cannot remain neutral about it.
Discussions are led by Mark Daniels and Eric Cohen, who are both passionate about science fiction and co-teach Flying Saucer Cinema, a classic sci-fi film class at North Seattle College.
Participants are strongly encouraged to watch the film before the event. Rent it from Scarecrow or check here for streaming options. This program is free but registration is required.
