Creature with the Atom Brain (1955)
Creature with the Atom Brain is about some mob dude that teams up with a German scientist to bring the dead to life so he can kill the people who busted/deported him. The creatures walk slow, talk slow and look like their heads were cut in half and then stitched in one of those special people workshops. Even Rahm Emanuel could have done a better job back in his dancing days with a butter knife and Elmer’s Glue. Oh, let us not forget how “radiation emanations” are the things that finally lead to the location of the bad mob dude and the German scientist who obviously was a reject from Operation Paperclip (they probably let him live because they knew he would go on to act).
This film is a classic cheese. Sure, if you are the type of person who only likes watching new films that throw action at you non-stop you won’t get anything out of this. But for the old scifi/horror/cheese film nerds out there like myself, this is time well spent.
For poops and grins I found some Creature with the Atom Brain stuff online. From Rocky Erickson and beyond … enjoy!

GAZE AT THE SCRIPTURE OF THE ATOM BRAIN!
Rocky Erickson wrote a song entitled Creature with the Atom Brain about this movie:
The creature with the Atom brain
The creature with the atom brain
Why is he acting so strange?
The creature with the atom brain
He threw the dog right down
Ripped his arms off and threw them on the ground
The creature with the atom brain
The creature with the atom brain
Do you think he’s one of them?
Do you think he’s one of them?
The creature with the atom brain
The creature with the atom brain
No one stitches like that
No one stitches like that
The creature with the atom brain
The creature with the atom brain
SPOKEN:
I told you I’d come back…
Remember Buchanan? But you’re not Buchanan…
I don’t look like him, but I am him…
Don’t you recognize the voice Jim?
I promised to see you die…and I will…
SUNG:
