Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Dr. Roger Girard is a rich scientist conducting experiments on head transplantation. His caretaker has a son, Danny, who, although fully grown, has the mind of child. One day an escaped psycho-killer invades Girard's home, killing Danny's father before being gunned down himself. With the maniac dying and Danny deeply unsettled by his father's death, Dr. Girard decides to take the final step and transplant the killer's head onto Danny's body. Of course, things go horribly wrong and the two-headed creature escapes to terrorize the countryside.

| Trivia | During a 1978 interview on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Bruce Dern revealed he was not paid for his role in the film. He was issued a check for $1,700 during filming, and when he went to the bank to cash his check, the check bounced. When he returned to the set on the next day scheduled for filming, the set had already been shut down. See more » |

Danny:
[as the 2 headed monster wakes up]
Daddy. Daddy. Cass: Whatta you know. He can talk. Danny: Who are you? Cass: I'm your brother. Danny: I don't have a, a brother. Cass: You do now. I don't like it any better. But until we can do something about it, I'm running this monster, understand? Danny: Uh, my neck hurts. Cass: My neck hurts, stupid. Don't you see what these maniacs had done to us? Danny: Stop jerking around. You and I are now one, dummy. Let's stand up. I'll show you. Cass: [as the monster gets up and starts walking for the first time] Aaaagh! I gotta teach the moron to walk.
