It was Halloween season when we were in New Hampshire and as I was blow drying my hair one morning in the resort, I heard strange sounds coming from the living room.
.

.
Turns outthe husband had found one of those mondo bizarro horror movies from the 50’s.. and it was a hoot.
Fiend Without A Face. No need to delve into the plot, just know it was marvelously ridiculous with disembodied killer brains on the loose.
.

.
They boarded up the doors, but it found a way in.
.

.
They chopped it with an ax…
.

.
But they still weren’t safe.
.

.
And just when we thought our damsel in distress could stop wringing her hands?
.

.
Multiple disembodied brains attacked.
Man, they don’t make movies like this anymore.
.

🤣

😝🤣😆….no they don’t. And that’s no necessarily a good thing. I’m not a big blood and guts gore type of movie kinda gal. I’m more a psychological thriller movie goer. Those scare me more than any other film genera.
But some humor is good in those 1950’s type movies. Although I don’t think the filmmakers intended it that way, lol.

The fact that they’re meant to be serious is what makes them so damned funny!

Look at the sign on the door of explosive vault.
ELECTRICAL STATION NO. 6
WiNNIPEG MANITOBA
CANADA
No, you cannot see the whole sign here, but I remember this movie very well, although it had a different name in Canada. ( I believe it was The Mind Things, or The Brain Things! Something like that.)
It was supposedly a movie about my home town. But if you remember the beginning of the movie, it took place in a mountainous region. Winnipeg is on flat prairie. Even at 7 or 8 years old I knew the movie was a fraud, and my friends and I laughed our way through it.
Thanks for giving me this name. I have tried to find it online, but it doesn’t exist under the name I knew!)

That’s crazy! I didn’t see much of it as I was in the shower, but what I did see was ridiculously funny.
Happy to share the joy and provide a reunion.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when whichever script-writer pitched this to the film-makers. What was the part where one of them said, “Tell me more!”

And how do the actors get into character? Running from a killer brain isn’t something you can train for….

I know, right!? It’s like that guy in Austin Powers with the steamroller moving incredibly slow towards him, like, “STOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!” I think they saw the script, shrugged and said, “at least we’re getting paid”

I love a good scare, but not outright blood and guts slasher films. This was a riot…

Amazing to look at horror back in the day, and what it is now. Definitely do not make movies like that any more!

Of course they’re going to find a way in. They’re brains! “Outsmarting” is what they do!
