I remember watching a censored version of this on TV back in the 1970's,they cut out part of the operation in the beginning,someone getting his arm ripped out from its socket,and some of the stripper scenes.its a very gory movie for 1962.i believe it was filmed earlier like 1959 but i could be wrong,this DVD is available everywhere you look.for as low as a dollar,i spotted it at a dollar store from a company called PC treasures,with a second feature;beast of yucca flats with the late great;Tor Johnson,with a bonus cartoon superman the Arctic giant.anyway brain that would'nt die is such a classic b-movie,very campy.Jason "herb"evers as a very mad doctor trying to graft his fiancés head on the body of a bikini model,why not?there's also a mutant creature that lives in a locked room,made by the spare parts of unsuccessful experiments,i believe everyone who has seen b-movies had to see this at least once.how about a remake?on the VHS version released by warner brothers its censored.i don't know why,maybe they got the TV print and didn't bother to check it.this movie is a bit much for kids,i think even today it can give children nightmares.beware of Jan in the pan.this was released by the notorious;American International Pictures.6 out of 10.
