The Brain that Wouldn't Die

I don't want to advocate that this flick is poor to the extention that it's satirical, rather than it purposely set out to do something and succeeds; whimsical horror (and in a sense it sets out to be so-bad-it's-good). It's from 1960, but it retains practically every trade of a 50's flick: The original Little Shop of Horrors. Now it isn't exactly a national secret and quite a few people have already seen it, but if you haven't, go for it.

It also takes the proverbial dump on the 80's adaptation - and you won't find any musical numbers in the one from the 60's (if memory serves me right).

You'll have to cut and paste, but it's worth the effort.
