When his fiancée, Hedy (Voytko), is accidentally decapitated, Dick keeps her head alive in a baking pan. Add a Monster in the Closet, a one-armed lab assistant, and a model with 'a body to die for,' and you have the perfect formula for a 3-D extravaganza!"
The Brain That Wouldn't Die! In 3-D!!! will have lighting design by Brian Tovar, scenic by Clifton Chadick and costume design by David Withrow. Annbritt DuChateau will serve as music director.
