Newspaper ad for BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS playing as part of a double feature... from Daytona Florida U.S.A. ( Feb. 9, 1958 )
This movie has always put a smile on my face.
How can you not like a big, maniacal, and horny, extraterrestrial brain, that's hellbent on enslaving the earth?
It can also absorb itself into other life forms and control them.

This flick was constantly being shown on local tv channels, when I was younger.
BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS was written by Ray Buffum, and directed by Nathan Juran.
It stars, John Agar as Steve, Joyce Meadows as Sally, Robert Fuller as Steve's hamburger crazed friend / co-worker, unknown canine as George the dog, and a few other familiar faces.
After all this time, I still have fun watching this movie.

I love the scene involving Steve amorously attacking Sally in the backyard, and that kick directed at her dog, when Mr. Bow-wow tries to defend her. It's so unintentionally hilarious.

I also love the final battle between steve and the brain.
Almost forgot to mention John Agar's evil laughter.
John Agar was - and still is - the real KING OF THE Bs!... Eat shit Bruce Campbell... Yeah, I know a lot of folks still like him, and once, I did too... until I met him...
This movie was released on VHS by RHINO. I'm not sure, but another company have have also released it the United States.
