The Brain That Wouldn't Die (also known as The Head That Wouldn't Die), a 1962 horror B-movie directed by Joseph Green, is not only considered a cult classic, but is considered by many to be among the worst movies ever made.

In October 1993, The Brain That Wouldn't Die was featured as an episode of television show Mystery Science Theater 3000, which mocks such films.

Plot outline

Dr. Bill Cortner is a successful scientist, and has a beautiful fiancée named Jan Compton. But after a horrible car accident that decapitates Jan, Dr. Cortner rushes to his laboratory where he revives the severed head, and manages to save his fiancée from death.

Dr. Cortner begins the search for a new body to attach to his fiancée's head, but isn't aware of his fiancée's contempt for him. By not being allowed to die peacefully, she becomes bitter, and communicates with the mutant in the laboratory cell to kill her fiancé.

Trivia

The movie title The Head That Wouldn't Die is visible at the end of the credits in some versions of the movie. This title makes more sense as during the film the whole head "doesn't die", not just the brain.
