THE BRAIN MACHINE / Howco Productions - 1977

Welcome to Friday Night Drive-In Frights & Freakouts here at the Dungeon, with your host Tabonga and his little 4-eyed hunchback tarantula helper buddy, Ralphie!

Howco also produced MESA OF LOST WOMEN, JAIL BAIT and UNTAMED MISTRESS!

Here's our story... "Four people with distinctly different backgrounds all volunteer for an experiment involving mind-altering and manipulation. The volunteers gather at a secret laboratory and are subject to a series of procedures that border on torture, including shock therapy and psychological torture. The final portion of the procedure involves the test subjects being exposed to an experimental device that alters their minds through the exposure of their innermost fears and darkest secrets."

Flick stars tons of TV actors, including James (uncredited crewman in FORBIDDEN PLANET) Best, Barbara (THE LAST PORNO FLICK) Burgess, Gerald (NIGHT OF BLOODY TERROR) McRaney and Marcus J. (KEEP OFF MY GRASS!) Grapes!

Jim Helms did the 'music' for THE BRAIN MACHINE and also worked on WOMEN AND BLOODY TERROR, THE PSYCHO LOVER, THE NIGHT OF THE STRANGLER and NIGHT CREATURE!

Today, Ralphie came up with funny soundclip title, so hit that big red 'GO' button and start the show, lil' pal!.. DAS BRAINZ MUSHEEN!

When you try and expose criminal activity in government sponsored weirdness, expect to be relentlessly tracked down! Filmed in Mississippi.

There are some great CIA jokes here, but we don't do political humor!

James plays Rev. Emory Neill. He had a similiar role in SHOCK CORRIDOR where he was in a nut house with various characters! Any time we feature James, it'd be funny to end the soundclip with Sheriff Rosco Coltrane's goofy laugh!

What good is a horror flick without showing some kind of weird looking skull?!

Interesting shots!

Okay, so, here's a great shot of the group... Before... Aw crap, the big door that seals them off is coming down... Sorry!

Dude got a little too close to the truth...

That's camera 3, right?

Tabonga swears, a lot of today's 'music' sounds like some of the stuff our band came up with after we got a digital delay!!

James gets his mind blown all the way to Hell!

OOPS!!

When you're the supreme pizza commander of the universe, you can easily have someone else framed to take the blame for your mistakes!

The ultimate fate of the volunteers and the people that know what's going on, is, well, you know... Not that great!

This is America, signing off!..

One of these days, we'll own the whole mutherfucker!!..

Right, boss!

**In a never-ending quest for cosmic balance, we're changing our lineup again... You are warned!
