I'm Still Waiting For A Remake!! by Dave Goode

 I was recently rereading Mike Howlett & Stephen Bissette's THE WEIRD WORLD OF EERIE PUBLICATIONS and it got me to thinking. What kind of movies would Myron Fass been making if he had decided to get into film-making? It didn't take to much time to come up with an answer. He would be Herschel Gordon Lewis' main competitor producing flicks along the lines of BLOOD FEAST and THE WIZARD OF GORE. Or maybe something like THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE.

 Arguably the sleaziest horror movie ever made THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T
DIE was produced by one-time pro wrestling promoter and manager Rex Carlton. One of the earlier movies Carlton produced was MR. UNIVERSE (1951), a flick about the grunt & groan racket. Joseph Green directed THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE from his own screenplay and an original story from Carlton.

The story itself is like something out of a pre-comics code horror comic book. An unhinged doctor portrayed by Jason Evers who has been experimenting with new transplant techniques keeps his girl friend's head alive after she was decapitated in a car accident. The girl friend played by Virginia Leith wants only to die. But Evers plans to transplant her head onto another woman's body. But first he must find just the right body. That's where the movie's sleaze factor comes in. He looks for girls with the right body to kill and then transplant his girl's head to. He goes to a strip joint, searches the streets and attends a body beautiful contest. He finally finds the perfect subject in a disfigured " camera club model " played by Adele Lamont. There's also a mutant monster played by 7'7" Eddie Carmel that the doctor keeps looked up in a closet in his lab.

 I'm not a fan of remakes. Especially when the flick is considered a "cult
classic'. But this one I pictured being remade about a decade ago starring Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, and Coco Austin.
