Saint Denis was a legendary 3rd-century Christian martyr and saint. According to his hagiographies, he was bishop of Paris in the third century and, together with his companions Rusticus and Eleutherius, was martyred for his faith by decapitation. Some accounts placed this during Domitian's persecution and identified StDenis of Paris with the Areopagite who was converted by StPaul and who served as the first bishop of Athens. Assuming Denis's historicity, it is now considered more likely that he suffered under the persecution of the emperorDecius shortly after AD250. Denis is the most famous cephalophore in Christian legend, with a popular story claiming that the decapitated bishop picked up his head and walked several miles while preaching a sermon on repentance. He is venerated in the Catholic Church as the patron saint of France and Paris and is accounted one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. A chapel was raised at the site of his burial by a local Christian woman; it was later expanded into an abbey and basilica, around which grew up the French city of Saint-Denis, now a suburb of Paris.

Name[edit]
The medieval and modern Frenchmasculinegiven name Denis derives from the Latin and Greek name Dionysius. This saint is sometimes distinguished as St Denis of Paris His name is also sometimes spelled Dennis and Denys.[citation needed]
Life[edit]
Beheading of Denis and of his companions, tympanum of the north portal of the Basilica of St Denis.
Gregory of Tours[3] states that Denis was bishop of the Parisii and was martyred by being beheaded by a sword. The earliest document giving an account of his life and martyrdom, the 'Passio SS. Dionysii Rustici et Eleutherii' dates from c. 600, is mistakenly attributed to the poet Venantius Fortunatus, and is legendary. Nevertheless, it appears from the Passio that Denis was sent from Italy to convert Gaul in the third century, forging a link with the 'apostles to the Gauls' reputed to have been sent out with six other missionary bishops under the direction of Pope Fabian. There Denis was appointed first Bishop of Paris.[4] The persecutions under Emperor Decius had all but dissolved the small Christian community at Lutetia (Paris).[5] Denis, with his inseparable companions Rusticus and Eleutherius, who were martyred with him, settled on the Ãle de la Cité in the River Seine. RomanParis lay on the higher ground of the Left Bank, away from the river.
Martyrdom[edit]
Denis and his companions were so effective in converting people that the non-Christian priests became alarmed over their loss of followers. At their instigation, Roman Governor arrested the missionaries. After a long imprisonment, Denis and two of his clergy were executed by beheading[4] on the highest hill in Paris (now Montmartre), which was likely to have been a druidic holy place. The martyrdom of Denis and his companions is popularly believed to have given the site its current name, derived from the Latin Mons Martyrum'The Martyrs' Mountain',[1] although the name is possibly derived from Mons Mercurii et Mons Martis, Hill of Mercury and Mars.[6] After his head was cut off, Denis is said to have picked it up and walked several miles from the summit of the hill, preaching a sermon the entire way, making him one of many cephalophores in hagiology. Of the many accounts of this martyrdom, this is noted in detail in the Golden Legend and in Butler's Lives Of The Saints.[7] The site where he stopped preaching and actually died was marked by a small shrine that developed into the Saint Denis Basilica, which became the burial place for the kings of France. Another account has his corpse being thrown into the Seine, but recovered and buried later that night by his converts.[2][4]
Veneration[edit]

St Denis in the Nuremberg Chronicle
Veneration of Saint Denis began soon after his death. The bodies of Saints Denis, Eleutherius, and Rusticus were buried on the spot of their martyrdom, where the construction of the saint's eponymousbasilica was begun by Saint Geneviève, assisted by the people of Paris.[8] Her Vita Sanctae Genovefae attests the presence of a shrine near the present basilica by the close of the fifth century.
Dagobert I, great-grandson of Chlothar I had the first Royal Basilica built. The Merovingian tradition was originally to bury kings as Clovis and Chlothildis in Paris, Abbey St-Genevieve/Genovefa as Clovis had ordered its construction in 502 AD. Yet Chilperic I had his own mother Dowager Queen Aregunda buried at Saint Denis. His grandson was clearly following a family tradition. Aregunda's (death about 580 AD) tomb was discovered in 1959 and her burial items can be seen at Saint-Germain-en-Laye museum. A successor church was erected by Fulrad, who became abbot in 749/50 and was closely linked with the accession of the Carolingians to the Merovingian throne.
In time, StDenis came to be regarded as the patron saint of the French people, with StLouis the patron of the monarchy and royal dynasties.[9]Saint Denis or Montjoie! Saint Denis! became the typical war-cry of the French armies. The oriflamme, which became the standard of France, was the banner consecrated upon his tomb. His veneration spread beyond France when, in 754, Pope Stephen II brought veneration of Saint Denis to Rome. Soon his cultus was prevalent throughout Europe.[8]Abbot Suger removed the relics of Denis, and those associated with Rustique and Eleuthére, from the crypt to reside under the high altar of the Saint-Denis he rebuilt, 1140-44.[10]
In traditional Catholic practice, Saint Denis is honoured as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Specifically, Denis is invoked against diabolical possession and headaches[11] and with Sainte Geneviève is one of the patron saints of Paris.
Feast[edit]
Last Communion and Martyrdom of Saint Denis, by Henri Bellechose, 1416, which shows the martyrdom of both Denis and his companions
October 9 is celebrated as the feast of Saint Denis and companions, a priest named Rusticus and a deacon, Eleutherius, who were martyred alongside him and buried with him. The names Rusticus and Eleutherius are non-historical. The feast of Saint Denis was added to the Roman Calendar in the year 1568 by Pope Pius V, although it had been celebrated since at least the year 800.
Saint Denis is also a commemoration in many Anglican Provinces, including the Church of England[12] and the Anglican Church of Canada,[13] on October 9.
Confusion with Dionysius the Areopagite[edit]
Since at least the ninth century, the legends of Dionysius the Areopagite and Denis of Paris have often been confused. Around 814, Louis the Pious brought certain writings attributed to Dionysius the Areopagite to France, and since then it became common among the French legendary writers to argue that Denis of Paris was the same Dionysius who was a famous convert and disciple of Saint Paul.[8] The confusion of the personalities of Saint Denis, Dionysius the Areopagite, and pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, the author of the writings ascribed to Dionysius brought to France by Louis, was initiated through an Areopagitica written in 836 by Hilduin, Abbot of Saint-Denis, at the request of Louis the Pious. 'Hilduin was anxious to promote the dignity of his church, and it is to him that the quite unfounded identification of the patron saint with Dionysius the Areopagite and his consequent connexion with the apostolic age are due.'[14] Hilduin's attribution had been supported for centuries by the monastic community at Abbey of Saint-Denis and one of origins of their pride. In Historia calamitatum, Pierre Abelard gives a short account of the strength of this belief and the monastery's harsh opposition to challenges to their claim. Abelard jokingly pointed out a possibility that the founder of the Abbey could have been another Dionysius, who is mentioned as Dionysius of Corinth by Eusebius. This irritated the community so much that eventually Abelard left in bitterness. As late as the sixteenth century, scholars might still argue for an Eastern origin of the Basilica of Saint-Denis: one was Godefroi Tillman, in a long preface to a paraphrase of the Letters of the Areopagite, printed in Paris in 1538 by Charlotte Guillard.[15] Most historiographers agree that this conflated legend is completely erroneous.[5]
Depiction in art[edit]
Denis' headless walk has led to his being depicted in art decapitated and dressed as a bishop, holding his own (often mitred) head in his hands.[8] Handling the halo in this circumstance poses a unique challenge for the artist. Some put the halo where the head used to be; others have Saint Denis carrying the halo along with the head. Even more problematic than the halo was the issue of how much of his head Denis should be shown carrying. Throughout much of the Middle Ages, the Abbey of St Denis and the canons of Notre-Dame Cathedral were in dispute over ownership of the saint's head. The Abbey claimed that they had the entire body, whilst the Cathedral claimed to possess the top of his head which, they claimed, had been severed by the executioner's first blow.[16] Thus while most depictions of St Denis show him holding his entire head, in others, the patrons have shown their support for the Cathedral's claim by depicting him carrying just the crown of his skull, as, for example in the mid 13th century window showing the story at Le Mans Cathedral (Bay 111).[17]
A 1317 illustrated manuscript depicting The Life of Saint Denis, once owned by King Philip V of France is preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. It was given to the king by his chaplain Gilles, the abbot of Saint Denis, having been commissioned by Jean de Pontoise, the previous Abbot of Saint Denis. The manuscript contains seventy-seven miniatures illustrating the life and martyrdom of Saint Denis.[18]

Why is the Statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace headless and where is the head?
the statue of the winged victory of samothrace is headless maybe broken by earthquake or other nature disasters, war, or maybe because the statue were abandoned too long. the head probably smashed into hundred of pieces and scattered, or steal by someone who found it (if the head still in good condition, not broken, it will be a good news for everyone)
To prevent this from occuring, you can save your project as a folder that includes all necessary files with the project file.Just go to File Dependencies Collect Files.Make sure the âCollect Source Filesâ dropdown menu is set to âAllâ and that the âGenerate Report Onlyâ checkbox is not checked, then click âCollect.â2.

How did the headless horse man lose his head?
cause you scared him then his head fell off.....hes coming for you..hes going to find you..you dont think so but it will happen
Why does everyone call SR Micloulas Mimsy nearly headless nick in Harry Potter?
His name is Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, and every on calls him Nearly Headless Nick because he died when a man tried to cut off his head. He left just a little bit of flesh, though, so Nick's head cant come all the way off, just hang like its on a hinge. So he is Nearly Headless Nick.
A Little Head, Any One?
gftbiloxi11 June 2007
THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE was considered so distasteful in 1959 that several cuts and the passage of three years was required before it was released in 1962. Today it is difficult to imagine how anyone could have taken the thing seriously even in 1959; the thing is both lurid and lewd, but it is also incredibly ludicrous in a profoundly bumptious sort of way.
The story, of course, concerns a doctor who is an eager experimenter in transplanting limbs--and when his girl friend is killed in a car crash he rushes her head to his secret lab. With the aid of a few telephone cords, a couple of clamps, and what looks very like a shallow baking pan, he brings her head back to life. But is she grateful? Not hardly. In fact, she seems mightily ticked off about the whole thing, particularly when it transpires that the doctor plans to attach her head to another body.
As it happens, the doctor is picky about this new body: he wants one built for speed, and he takes to cruising disconcerted women on city sidewalks, haunting strip joints, visiting body beautiful contests, and hunting down cheesecake models in search of endowments that will raise his eyebrow. But back at the lab, the head has developed a chemically-induced psychic link with another one of the doctor's experiments, this one so hideous that it is kept locked out of sight in a handy laboratory closet. Can they work together to get rid of the bitter and malicious lab assistance, wreck revenge upon the doctor, and save the woman whose body he hankers for? Could be! Leading man Jason Evers plays the roguish doctor as if he's been given a massive dose of Spanish fly; Virginia Leith, the unhappy head, screeches and cackles in spite of the fact that she has no lungs and maybe not even any vocal chords. Busty babes gyrate to incredibly tawdry music, actors make irrational character changes from line to line, the dialogue is even more nonsensical than the plot, and you'll need a calculator to add up the continuity goofs. On the whole THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE comes off as even more unintentionally funny than an Ed Wood movie.
Director Joseph Green actually manages to keep the whole thing moving at pretty good clip, and looking at the film today it is easy to pick out scenes that influenced later directors, who no doubt saw the thing when they were young and impressionable and never quite got over it. The cuts made before the film went into release are forever lost, but the cuts made for television have been restored in the Alpha release, and while the film and sound quality aren't particularly great it's just as well to recall that they probably weren't all that good to begin with.
Now, this is one of those movies that you'll either find incredibly dull or wildly hilarious, depending on your point of view, so it is very hard to give a recommendation. But I'll say this: if your tastes run to the likes of Ed Wood or Russ Meyers, you need to snap this one up and now! Four stars for its cheesy-bizarreness alone! GFT, Amazon Reviewer

Good, Old-fashioned Fun

BaronBl00d4 September 1999
I had a heck of a good time viewing this picture, and was splendidly surprised at its more erudite features. First off, the film is undeniably cheaply-made with its cardboard sets, limited settings, and creative scientific props. The acting ranges from very poor(the two strippers), barely professional(Herb Evers as the leading man), gothic overstatement(Leslie Daniels as the assistant Kurt)to first-rate with Virginia Leith in the title role as the headless victim alive against her will for the benefit of science and her fiancee's lustful passions. The scripting though is very good and the dialogue is fantastic for a movie of this ilk. Issues abound about what role science and medicine have in our lives and what their boundaries should be. This film is a thinking film in many ways. However, don't be too fooled by its real intent. It is a sleazy story about a man obsessed with his aptitude in medical science who wishes to fuse together his dead girlfriend's head with the perfect body, thereby creating the perfect woman for a man with the best of both body and soul. One other very bright aspect of the film is the sax music which resonates strongly every time the doctor scours town for female beauties.

Works for sheer audacity, shameless conviction of its aims.

roger-21212 July 2004
For what this is (a rather over-heated horror sci-fi stew), it works for its sheer audacity and shameless full-bore conviction of its aims. Mad scientist movies end up resorting to long shots of people in white lab coats talking in sterile sets. But this one has a woman's head in the tray, fighting with the doctor, yelling at the monster in the closet, and engaging the assistant in metaphysical questions usually not heard in such low-budget potboilers.
Nice dynamic that it's his fiancé that he wants to save..but she has become so bitter since becoming a disembodied head in a tray of water. I remember watching this for the first time on TV in the early 70s and being amazed they used to make movies like this.
Better than average camera work, also, trying to get a sense of vertigo and movement throughout. This film with its hell-bent-for-leather pace is a fever-dream that works because it doesn't let go, or tip you to the fact that the makers thought it was ridiculous as it certainly is.
Be sure to get the restored version with the monster in the closet finally grabbing the doctor's arm and making a bloody mess at the end. A great cathartic bloody end to this near Shakespearean morality play about how man should not meddle in god's business.

'60s Schlockfest
Permalink
ReelCheese12 September 2006
The opening credits bear the title THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE. Some 80 minutes later, the same film is strangely billed as THE HEAD THAT WOULDN'T DIE in the end credits. That gives you an idea of how much effort went into this '60s schlockfest.
But that doesn't mean it's not worth watching if you're in the right mood. Jason Evers (who would later lend his considerable talents to such memorable efforts as A PIECE OF THE ACTION and A MAN CALLED GANNON) stars as a wacky doc who thinks it'd be just super to keep his fiancée's head alive in his laboratory after her untimely decapitation in a car accident. He's understandably not content marrying a head, so he seeks out an appropriate (though not necessarily willing!) body donor.
Much of the 'action' takes place in the mad doc's basement lab (likely marking one of the final times the traditionally cheesy horror film lab set was put to use). Jan Compton (Virginia Leith), or Jan in the Pan as she's called, spends an awful lot of time yapping and whining. Another IMDb reviewer wasn't far off when he likened her to THE HEAD THAT WOULDN'T SHUT UP! Can you blame her? She's understandably not content to live this sort of life. But what's really holding her interest (and mine.. there, I admitted it) is the doctor's other monstrous creation, which keeps trying to pound its from behind its single-doored prison. Will our hero find a body for his woman? Are the authorities on to him? Why am I enjoying this so much? Those are just some of the questions you'll find yourself asking.
THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE comes to us in the tradition of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS, though it's not quite on par with those films in terms of 'so bad it's good' appeal. As incredible as it sounds, the picture is legitimately able to hold the viewer's interest with its outrageous plot and suspense built up over the creature behind the door. Sure it goes on a bit too long and sure there are dull moments, but what did you expect?
Admit it. If you haven't seen this one, at least part of you wants to. It's probably that part that yearns for pure, unadulterated stupidity from grown men and women from time to time. So indulge that inner glutton with THE BRAIN THAT WOULD'T DIE.

Warning: Spoilers
This film is an absolute classic for camp. That is why it was an Elvira and MST3000 classic. Everyone knows the story. Scientist keeps his girlfriend's head alive in a lasagna pan in his basement while he cruises town and tries to find her a body by checking out the local chicks. Finally he finds a real hourglass body with a scar-faced chick's head on top. The severed head makes friends with the failed experiment in the closet and the conehead comes out of the closet and rips off the assistant's remaining 'good' arm (his other is not right from a scientist's earlier failure), and the whole place burns down.
The movie scared us so much as kids that my friend wouldn't go into his basement for a year after seeing it. As kids we ranked the scariest movies of all time and this one was number four. Only one of those scary movies was really any good (the Original 'The Haunting'.)
I had to give this movie a seven rating for the tremendous amount of entertainment value it offers. Its eerie effect because of the crappy production and the weird sexual angle when the scientist looks for the bodies (complete with porno sound track) scares the hell out of innocent children, while the ridiculous aspects make it prime material for watching talking and laughing. I could watch this film tonight and enjoy it while I'd rather go to the Dentist than watch 'Chicago' again.
Seven is the most I can give it, because its entertainment value is mere luck. The film , as cinema, is a disaster.

This is wonderful over-the-top entertainment for fans of sleaze cinema. Some people apparently don't like this film because everyone in it is evil. Thankfully, that is true. There's nothing more boring than all those nice, bland heroes and heroines. Yecchh!! Our cast here is totally over-the-top 'bad'. Leslie Daniels in particular as the doctor's Igor-like sidekick puts on his best (or should I say worst?) Richard III impression, complete with withered hand and drawn out Shakespearean rant. A classic ham! And there's cheesecake for everyone with busty babes bursting out from every corner (as long as the doctor has to find a new body to crown his girlfriend's head on.. well, who wouldn't pick the creme de la creme?). There's even a fabulous (meee-owww!) cat fight between two strippers that probably levitated a lot of audiences back in 1960. And .. RE-ANIMATOR fans will love the similarities of the angst-ridden head in the tray trying to seize a little power. So, how can anyone say this film is bad in a bad way? You want 'good', go watch DONOVAN's BRAIN, a very competent but forgettable little film made several years earlier. This film is a like a mad, campy Halloween party. Leave your attitude behind, and try to enjoy it!

This is one of those movies that puzzles today's audiences. They're so jaded with mega-million dollar budgeted, hyperactive action films, they have no idea what movies were like before 'Star Wars' ruined the market for drive-ins and one-screen sidewalk theaters.
'Brain That Wouldn't Die' is a personal favorite of mine. I grew up seeing it occasionally on Detroit's WKBD-TV50 Saturday night Chiller Movie Double Feature during the 1970s. It was the perfect thriller to watch late at night (in those days stores closed and people went to bed early), after a long sunny week in school and playing outside. There were no computers, cellphones, video games, cable TV or videos back then. You had three or four channels and they signed off after the news. If you were still up after 11:30pm, you felt like the last person on earth; the perfect setting in which to watch this type of picture.
The film sets a nightmarish tone immediately with its moody, creepy score and grim B&W cinematography. Yes, it's a low-budget independent film produced by people mostly just starting out. Given that it was most of the production's first screen credit, it is outstanding.
Despite the comedy relief stripper scenes, the film was one of the more violent, gory and shocking at the time and for years that followed. Everyone's stomach turned over at the arm tearing out scene and my mother used to excuse herself from the room at that point, she found it so disturbing.
Like Abbott & Costello before them--and MST3K after them--the Medved brothers ruined films like this by burlesquing them in their 1980 book, 'The Golden Turkey Awards.' This and the post- 'Star Wars' culture have doomed these movies to an eternity of sneering contempt from a younger audience weened on endless laser blasts, propane explosions and hyperactive CGI effects.
Happily, I got to see and enjoy 'Brain That Wouldn't Die' while it was still considered relevant. Every kid on the block used to know and love this movie--and I was one of them.

A 1950s Mens Magazine version of a movie

With all the 'teasecake' in Brain (shot in 1959 but released in 1963), the locations (a loner wandering through strip clubs, swimsuit contests, a model's studio, in a convertible following and picking up women on the street) and the wolfish emphasis on full-length shots of near-naked stacked women, the movie has the sensibility and style of the men's magazines of that time (with symbolic titles like Rogue, Knave, Dude, Bachelor, Caper, etc.). It's surprising that it hasn't been remade and updated, even if only for the cable or home video market, like Not of This Earth, Little Shop of Horrors, How To Make A Monster and other B programmers. Sure it's a cheap little film but that's the fun of it.

This was one of the first CREEPY movies I ever saw..I was about 5 at the time. It scared me GOOD! But that night I put chewing gum in one eye to be like the monster..and my mom got very upset. She had to clean my eye with alcohol and the next day my eye smelled like DOUBLE MINT! NOW THAT'S A MOVIE! Hey for it's time it was a great movie. That Head sitting on the lab counter top was as real as it got back then. And IF your 5 it is VERY SCARY! Kids now a days are spoiled by special effects that show too much and leave NOTHING for your minds imagination. Your mind can imagine things more scarier than special effects! (IMO)

The unethical surgeon Dr. Bill Cortner (Herb Evers) is developing a technique of transplantation of organs and members using a serum against rejection. When he has a car accident with his girlfriend Jan Compton (Virginia Leith), he saves her head only, and tries to find a woman with a beautiful body to transplant Jan's head against her will.
I found the low budget movie 'The Brain That Wouldn't Die' very underrated in IMDb. The story is not so bad, and certainly inspired 'Frankenhooker' and 'The Man with Two Brains'. The acting and the direction are very reasonable, and there are some mistakes of edition (for example, when Dr. Bill Cortner is having a conversation in the car with his friend on the sidewalk), but these errors just contribute to make the movie funnier. The make-up of the creature is great. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): 'O Cérebro Que Não Queria Morrer' ('The Brain That Did not Want to Die')

This one hearkens back to the days of the matinée, when kids with nowhere else to hang out took their dates to the balcony after dumping their younger siblings below. It didn't matter what was on the screen - the little kids would sit through it and the big kids would ignore it. The adults, of course, would never see it.
But they put it on video, anyway, along with most of the other creaky, low-budget 'B' horror flicks of the golden age..of television. This film's inherent and unintentional humor is derived from stale ideology (the 'bad girls' harvested to replace poor Jan's crushed body - they had it comin'), overused plot (a mad scientist, trying to play God), violent yet conscientious monster (whose presence in the heretofore-normal-seeming scientist's rural lab is never fully explained), and acting that polarizes at wooden or over-the-top.
This is a great party film, assuming your guests enjoy adding dialog and commentary to otherwise abominable cinematic exploits. In fact, should you or your guests prefer more passive entertainment, this film is also available on video in its 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' treatment, in which the host and puppets of the cult TV series make the necessary additions for you.

This movie scared heck out of me when I was just a kid. It's no 'Citizen Kane' but it has its moments. The arm ripping scene is good. The plot is good even if characters aren't - could have something to do with the acting. Put some top name people in the roles and then see what you get. This was one of those shoot, edit (what little there was) and distribute in a couple of months type of movies. This is classic low budget sci-fi and deserves it just due. I rated it a 9 based other films of this genre and age.

preppy-312 December 2003
Warning: Spoilers
A scientist and his girl friend are out driving when his speeding causes a car crash. He escapes unharmed but she is decapitated. He saves her head, brings it to his house and keeps it alive (!!!!). He then proceeds to search out models and strippers for the perfect body for the head. His crippled assistant watches over the head which starts talking and has a telepathic (or telepathetic) link to a deformed monster kept in the closet..
As you can see, this is pretty stupid stuff, but I had a certain fondness for it. When I grew up in the late 1970s, a local TV station showed this movie about 20 times each year (no exaggeration). They showed it always on Saturday afternoon TV--uncut. Seeing this on TV back then was great! Explicit blood and gore along with a gruesome monster and sleazy sexploitation--who cares if it was good? Seeing it now I realize how lousy this really is.
The acting is perfectly wretched, the production values are nonexistent, the script is pretty dumb and (aside from the still pretty disgusting gore) this is dull stuff. There's also a mild cat fight between two women and the admittedly great monster at the end. Also add in an ending which leaves tons of loose ends. On one hand this is an interesting example of a 1960s exploitation film. On the other its utter trash. Either way, it's not a good movie but is a must-see (for one time only) for horror and gore fans.
Also the head's laugh is pretty creepy. Note the end credits which gets the TITLE wrong (calling it 'The HEAD That Wouldn't Die')!

Jan in the Pan

bkoganbing18 November 2018
The Brain That Wouldn't Die is a great example of how something can really gowrong and not be produced and directed by either Arch Hall or Ed Wood. Believeit or not other people made some really rotten pictures.
I wonder what Virginia Leith did to insult the movie gods at 20th Century Fox sothat her contract was not renewed and she was reduced to being Jan in the Pan.Jason Evers as our lead mad scientist looks like he's about to blow lunch withevery piece of tripe dialog he says.
Evers is doing all kinds of experiments with brains of lower order creatures andthen his girlfriend Leith is in a bad auto accident where she is decapitated asJayne Mansfield was reported to have been in real life. But she's got a scientist boyfriend who saves the head and brain and keeps it alive with Frankensteinlike gadgets. The same year Nazis would do the same for Hitler in They SavedHitler's Brain.
So Virginia Leith from playing Jan Compton now plays Jan In The Pan, one ofthe great character names ever. At least The Brain That Wouldn't Die has onememorable screen credit.
After that Evers starts searching for desirable women with pulchritudinousbodies to take Leith's place and they start going missing in his area and lawenforcement becomes interested. The last one he settles on is Adele Lamontone sultry dish I will admit.
Of course it all ends badly mainly because he's kept around some other failedexperiments. Isn't that the way with all movie mad scientists?
This one is bad in a colossal sense. And Ed Wood or Arch Hall had nothing todo with it.
I wonder what Virginia Leith did to insult the movie gods at 20th Century Fox sothat her contract was not renewed and she was reduced to being Jan in the Pan.Jason Evers as our lead mad scientist looks like he's about to blow lunch withevery piece of tripe dialog he says.
Evers is doing all kinds of experiments with brains of lower order creatures andthen his girlfriend Leith is in a bad auto accident where she is decapitated asJayne Mansfield was reported to have been in real life. But she's got a scientist boyfriend who saves the head and brain and keeps it alive with Frankensteinlike gadgets. The same year Nazis would do the same for Hitler in They SavedHitler's Brain.
So Virginia Leith from playing Jan Compton now plays Jan In The Pan, one ofthe great character names ever. At least The Brain That Wouldn't Die has onememorable screen credit.
After that Evers starts searching for desirable women with pulchritudinousbodies to take Leith's place and they start going missing in his area and lawenforcement becomes interested. The last one he settles on is Adele Lamontone sultry dish I will admit.
Of course it all ends badly mainly because he's kept around some other failedexperiments. Isn't that the way with all movie mad scientists?

Anyone who would like to watch this flick (which I would not recommend) will soon realize that the title totally misses the point: actually,the head WOULD die,the actress tells us so during one long hour ,and it is a very talky movie at that.
An umpteenth variant of Mary Shelley's immortal Frankenstein,where the scientist ,for a change, is not the old dad ,but the son .He wants to bring the dead back to life ,in spite of his old man's good piece of advice .
In a car crash on a winding road (they should have looked at the road sign ),nothing is left of his dear wife but her head;hence the necessity to find a body.And while you're at it,try to find the most beautiful body you can.
People who play with fire must expect to get burnt.

Seriously twisted

This movie reminds of of an old black and white horror comic --- not the good ones, like TALES FROM THE CRYPT or CREEPY, but their sleazier offshoots like NIGHTMARE. And while the film is pretty bad by normal standards, it ranks high on the whacked-out-imagination meter, and maybe even higher on the anything-to-creep-you-out chart. I mean, anyone can make a movie where a guy's arm is torn off but it takes a special brand of sicko to make him a cripple with only one good arm and then tear THAT ONE off --- AND have him stagger around the room smearing the walls with blood from his stump. Ouch. The disembodied head is also pretty creepy when you actually think about it, thanks in large part to a quite good performance by Virginia Leith. And that mutant in the closet is a seriously ugly dude.
Oh, and one other thing: Meow.

I loved this movie. Granted, I didn't rent it because I wanted a deep, fulfilling cinematic experience..but would anyone in his or her right mind actually expect that from a movie with the phrase 'that wouldn't die,' in the title?
It has everything a cheesy sci-fi/horror flick from the '60s should: right down to inherently over-dramatic line, 'You men are all alike.'
Realistic? Nope. Well-acted? Nope. Good SFX? Nope. Entertaining? Yes, yes, YES! Once in a while, everyone needs a break from films that beg emotional involvement. It's a quick, guilt-free 82 minutes.

The Brain (or head) that Wouldn't Die is one of the more thoughtful low budget exploitation films of the early 1960s. It is very difficult to imagine how a script this repulsively sexist could have been written without the intention of self-parody. And the themes that are expressed repeatedly by the female lead, Ginny Leith - a detached head kept alive by machines, I-Vs and clamps - seem to confirm that the film was meant to simultaneously exploit and critique gender stereotypes. Shades of the under-rated Boxing Helena.
The genderisms are plentiful, and about as irritating as an army of angry ants. The dialog is hyperbolic, over-dramatic and unbelievable, and the acting is merely OK (but not consistent). Why have I given this film a 4? Because some thought clearly went into it. I am really not sure what point the film was really trying to make, but it seems clear that it strives for an unusually edgy and raw sort of horror (without the blood and guts today's audiences expect).
Another unique and interesting aspect of the Brain is that there really are not any heroes in this film, and none of the characters are particularly likable.
All considered, this is a fairly painful and disturbing look at early 1960s American pop sexuality, from the viewpoint of a woman kept alive despite her missing body after what should have been a fatal car crash. Her lover is threatening to sew a fresh, high quality, body onto her and force her to continue living with him. She is understandably non-plussed by all of this and forced to befriend a creature who is almost as monstrous as her boyfriend. Oh, there are also some vague references to the 1950s/60s cliché about the evils of science run amok.
Recommended for B sci fi buffs and graduate students in gender studies. O/w not recommended.

What better movie is there than this? It gives you everything: thrilling surgery scenes, exciting car chases, nailbiting stripper-fight tension, a talking severed head, a seven-foot-plus pinhead monster (sensitively played by Eddie Carmel), and some stunning scenes of verbal philosophy. Plus one of the greatest pieces of theme music ever recorded.

I first saw this movie on a local station on the Sunday afternoon horror show back around 1969 or 1970. Uncut. I was just a little kid at the time, but I loved it and wasn't really that scared by it. I thought it had such a cool and highly original storyline. Thinking back, I'm still surprised that it was shown during the day on T.V. uncut in those years. I've sought out this film ever since, seen it over and over again, and always loved it. One would think John Waters would have idolized this film. It's got to be not only a scary film, but one of the sleaziest, trashiest films ever made at that time. And surprisingly, you don't hear about this one as having the cult following that a movie such as 'Blood Feast' or 'The Hills Have Eyes' have acquired over the years. It has a cult following, but it should have really become a cult classic, in my opinion. As far as I know, this came out a little before Blood Feast came out, making this probably one of the first true 'gore' films. In fact, this movie has elements of Hershell Gordon Lewis AND a little Russ Meyer thrown in for good measure.
Anyway, I recommend this for anyone who likes trashy, sleazy, black and white horror films from the early '60's (I think the date at the end of it read 1960).

Was the monster that guy in the Diane Arbus photo?

We might call 'The Brain That Wouldn't Die' a B-movie, but it actually wasn't too bad. Granted, the concept was pretty outlandish, but the movie is worth seeing (if only for sci-fi fetishists). The plot of course has Dr. Bill Cortner (Herb Evers) keeping lover Jan Compton's (Virginia Leith) decapitated head alive. The head befriends a monster (Eddie Carmel) in the closet.
Sound far-fetched? It is, but the movie's pretty cool. And I remember that Diane Arbus titled one of her photos 'Jewish Giant Visiting His Parents in Brooklyn', and I think that it was Eddie Carmel in that photo. The things that we see in life..

Not THAT bad, really

Warning: Spoilers
Meh, people tend to exaggerate! I purchased this film especially because it carries the reputation of being an absolutely awful 60's production, almost unbearable to sit through. Either my interpretation of 'awful' is completely different from the public opinion or this reputation is unjustified, because I what I saw was a cheap, but nevertheless creative and dared story with above-average acting performances and groundbreaking gory make-up effects (groundbreaking when realizing the year was 1962 and hideous scars as well as poking out eyeballs weren't that common yet). I was expecting to witness really lousy dialogues and ridiculously illogical plot-twists but the script and elaboration of this film pleasantly surprised me for sure. If you can't get passed the cardboard set pieces and weak photography, that's your loss, but it certainly isn't a reason to entirely neglect this film. The story focuses on the overly ambitious surgeon Bill Cortner (decent performance by Jason Evers) who likes to experiment with transplanting limbs, organs and even complete heads! When a car crash he caused decapitates his fiancée, her artificially keeps her alive while searching for a decent (still walking) donor body. The plot is enriched with a horrible monster in the laboratory's closet (a previous experiment of Dr. Cortner that went wrong), a traumatized model and the stubborn head itself that hates not being dead. Granted, 'The Brain that Wouldn't Die' features a couple very boring sequences that lead nowhere. In an overlong sequence set at a nudie bar, for example, Cortner seduces two possible hot body-donors but his attempt is eventually fruitless. This, along with the abrupt ending and fuzzy camera-work, is the only real letdown in an otherwise entertaining and enthusiastically made horror quickie. Experienced horror fans will certainly appreciate the maker's attempts to serve us gore and morbid humor (in a hilarious sequence, Dr. Bill tapes the talking head's mouth shut!). Please, don't let the negative comments and the ranking in the bottom top 100 keep you from watching it. It's an okay movie that you won't regret wasting time with. If you really want an awful film with a more or less similar premise, check out 'The Frozen Dead' (Herbert J. Leder  1966). Very tedious nonsense in which the experimenting doctors are vicious Nazis and the separated heads are a lot less 'lively'.

Something of a trash classic

Red-Barracuda20 September 2010
The Brain That Wouldn't Die is pure unadulterated schlock. It's one of those old Z-grade movies that sort of lives up to its reputation. It's another mad doctor movie, of which there were countless examples in the 50's and 60's, but this one is quite a bit more entertaining that almost all of them. The plot line is basically about a surgeon who is experimenting with reanimating dead tissue. He is in a car accident where his girlfriend dies and is decapitated. He takes her head from the crash site and brings it back to life. Meanwhile one of his monstrous creations lurks in the cupboard in the lab..
Like a number of similar cheap sci-fi/horror productions of the time, this film includes a lot of scenes with scantily clad women; in this case dancers and a photographic model. Our crazy doctor prowls the strip clubs and the models studio looking for women with the perfect body for his disembodied head back in the lab. Obviously these scenes aren't exactly racy by today's standards but they are fun nevertheless. They are in contrast to perhaps the film's most famous element â the scenes of graphic gore. Again, to a modern gorehound these scenes will be very tame indeed but for a film released in 1962 they were very extreme â a man has his arm ripped off and another has a lump of his cheek bitten off! In other words this was a true schlock-fest of a movie at the time.
With the exception of Virginia Leith in the role as the head, the acting is atrocious. But this damages the film in no way whatsoever as this is truly a trash classic. It moves along at a good pace and it has some imaginative camera-work, especially in the external scenes leading up to and after the car crash. The make-up effects are crude but the monster is pretty memorable. As is the film in general. I certainly recommend it for fans of the trashier and schlockier side of sci-fi and horror.

decent piece of weirdness

PaulyC8 September 2008
A young surgeon, Dr. Bill Cortner, and his fiancée, Jan, are driving to his laboratory in a remote wooded area where he performs weird experiments on people. He finally wants to come clean on what it is he does there that has been such a secret. On the way, he gets in a terrible car accident, leaving the car in flames and soon to be wife, beheaded. He grabs the head out of the car and takes it to his laboratory. He's experimented on decapitated people before and had success and this would be his most brilliant achievement. Bill and his lab partner, who helps the doctor in hopes he will get his amputated arm treated, keep the head alive with a special device and a new type of liquid they invented that works like blood. The lab partner has a fake arm now but it is very deformed from the doctors previous attempt to help. It works! The head is alive and bitching every second that she should have been left for dead. Dr. Cortner's plan is to find a worthy body for her so he goes out looking for nice bodies in a strip club. That's the gist of the story and believe it or not the movie isn't bad. It's pretty well filmed besides the fairly lame car accident, and main actors, Jason Evers as the doctor and Virginia Leith as Jan, the fiancée, are pretty good. The movie even has a decent scene or two of suspense and found that watching this late at night in the right mood, was not amazing, but definitely entertaining.

It was bad. It was real bad. It stung, Mommy. But what made it worse was that she was really nice before being dismembered. But afterwards, she was a real bitch! Her hubby didn't even try to explain what he was doing for her. She wouldn't shut up either! Somehow she talked without any vocal cords, too. AAARRRGGH!

Written | 1934 |
Published | 1934 |
Composer(s) | Harris Weston |
Lyricist(s) | R. P. Weston & Bert Lee |
'With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm' is a darkly humorous song, written in 1934 with lyrics by R. P. Weston and Bert Lee and music by Harris Weston.[1] It was originally performed by Stanley Holloway. It tells of how the ghost of Anne Boleyn haunts the Tower of London, seeking revenge on Henry VIII for having her beheaded.
Who Carry His Head Under His Arm Man
It has been covered by many performers, including:
- The Kingston Trio,[2] with a few changes in the lyrics, including giving an American twist to the soccer-related lines 'And when they've had a few they shout 'Is Ars'nal going to win?'/They think it's Alec James, instead of poor old Ann Boleyn', changing them to 'And when they've had a few they shout 'Is Army going to win?'/They think that it's Red Grange, instead of poor old Ann Boleyn'
- The Barron Knights, who also changed a few lyrics including:
- 'And when they've had a few they shout 'Is Ars'nal going to win?'/They think it's Alec James, instead of poor old Ann Boleyn' to 'And when they've had a few they shout 'Is Team going to win?'/They think that it's Brian Clough, instead of poor old Ann Boleyn'
- Rudy Vallee in the late 1930s with 'The Old Sow Song' on the reverse.
- Bobby Clancy, who recorded it twice under the title 'Anne Boleyn,' once with the Clancy Brothers on their 1982 Live album, and again on his 2000 solo album, Make Me a Cup.
- Caryl P. Weiss, whose 1981 recording has been a mainstay on Dr. Demento's Halloween show.
It has appeared in many shows, including:
Skyrim clean house in whiterun. Page Tools.In there are five houses that the player can purchase. Buying a house may require completing certain tasks for a city's jarl or of that city.Aside from houses, undertaking certain faction questlines can also provide the player with a shelter associated with that faction at no extra cost. Marrying a person also allows you the option to live in your spouse's house.Note: Houses do NOT come furnished and furniture must be purchased through the jarl's steward. Houses also include a bed which belongs to the player; player-owned beds provide a temporary boost to and after sleeping in them (unless you are a, in which case you can never obtain such a boost from sleeping no matter where you are). Houses are among the most expensive purchases a player can make, but owning a house allows a player to store in it securely and can be a welcome after dungeon-crawling.
- The song was used in the serial Spin and Marty on the Mickey Mouse Club TV show in the late 1950s.
- During the episode 'Whine Club' of the TV series Frasier, Daphne Moon sings the song at a brunch that Frasier is hosting in an attempt to get to know Niles' new girlfriend, Mel.
- During the episode 'They do it with Mirrors' of the TV series Marple. The convicts sing together an excerpt of the song before the theater play.
