From Amazon.com
A scientist is driving around with his gorgeous girlfriend and everything's hunky-dory until he wrecks the car and her head goes flying off. Not to be discouraged, he wraps the decapitated noggin in his jacket and scurries off to his lab, where he keeps the poor woman's head alive in a developing tray with some coils and tubes running in and out of it. With his girlfriend's still-conscious cabeza back at the lab, the good doctor drives around shopping for bodies, ogling women who might make likely candidates for reattaching the head. Finally he finds a model with a gorgeous bod (and leopard print bikini), but a scarred face. He convinces the young woman that he can fix her looks with plastic surgery and convinces her to go back to the lab. Meanwhile, his girlfriend-head (silenced by a strip of duct tape over her mouth) has developed telepathy and a nasty grudge. This movie used to regularly leave late-night TV audiences aghast and scare the bejabbers out of the young'uns. Decades later, it's an indispensable trash classic, complete with a catfight, a pinhead monster, a deformed assistant, and even a spatter of gore. Make no mistake; this incredible, sleazy gem is a must-see for any self-respecting fans of camp cinema. They just don't come any better, and they definitely don't make 'em like that anymore. --Jerry Renshaw

From the Actor
Joseph Green, originally of Baltimore, studied at the University of Maryland and joined the Army later on. He started his entertainment career as a television producer and eventually launched Joseph Green Productions for the distribution of foreign movies in the United States. He is best remembered for directing the 1959 horror cult classic The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, which was the forerunner of many similar feature films of that genre.

THE PLOT: In a surgical operating room, a clinically dead man is brought back to life after Dr. Bill Cortner (Jason Evers) employs a highly controversial procedure that entails stimulating the brain electrically. His father (Bruce Brighton) the surgeon in charge ‘does not approve of the method, but is proud of the results’. When the mildly manic Dr. Cortner talks of eventual transplantation of organs and body parts by employing a new chemical compound he has developed, his conservative father reacts with skepticism. But Dr. Cortner Sr. has to go up to Denver for a medical convention This leaves Bill and his beautiful fiancé Jan Compton (Virginia Leith) alone for a weekend at their country house in the hills, from where his assistant Kurt has sent news of dire developments. In his hurry to get there, Bill drives the car into a guardrail and Jan is horribly killed. Bill arrives at the brooding country house in a pathetic state. But his concern is not for himself - he has salvaged Jan’s head from the burning car wreckage and fully intends to ‘save’ her. Kurt is aghast, but helpless against Dr. Bill Cortner’s forceful personality. A horrific experiment finally results in the dead Jan’s severed head coming back to an appalling semblance of life. Now, employing his new adrenal serum, he intends to attach the resuscitated head to another body and restore Jan to full human life. As he goes to procure this body, the ghastly result of a previous experiment stays locked up in a closet of this hell-begotten country house.
