The Brain That Wouldn't Die1962

Horror Vault's take

When a tragic car accident leaves his fiancée decapitated, an ambitious surgeon refuses to accept the loss — keeping her head alive in his laboratory while he hunts for a replacement body. Dr. Cortner's fanatical devotion to experimental transplant science pushes him far beyond the boundaries of medical ethics or common decency. What he fails to consider is that Jan, reduced to a disembodied head in a pan, has her own thoughts, her own rage, and perhaps her own plans. This low-budget 1962 chiller is a quintessential slice of mad-doctor pulp that lingers in the imagination long after the credits roll.
