Blood of Ghastly Horror is a 1972 horror film directed by Al Adamson and starring John Carradine.[1]
Much of the footage in the film was previously released in 1965 as part of a crime thriller feature entitled Psycho A-Go-Go.[2]
Prior to this in 1966 additional footage was added and the film was re-released as The Fiend with the Electronic Brain.[3]
New footage was shot for the 1972 version in an effort to introduce more horror and science fiction elements.[4]
Plot
A doctor implants a strange electronic brain component in a man's skull and a psychotic killer is born. A strange scientist brings a zombie to life and sets out to avenge the enemies of the killer.
