Storyline

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. Written by Jeremy Lunt <durlinlunt@acadia.net>

Experiments in body collaboration
9 August 2012 | by (Buffalo, New York) – See all my reviews

Watching The Incredible Two Headed Transplant and you've got to wonder just why are scientists doing things like transplanting a second head on to a body which already has one? The explanations offered just never quite satisfy on the screen.

In this colossally bad classic Bruce Dern and Berry Kroeger are conducting secret experiments in body collaboration and they get a perfect opportunity when escaped maniac killer Albert Cole leaves the asylum he's been committed to and runs amuck. Oh joy, here's a great subject. So after killing the caretaker at the Dern estate, Cole's head is grafted on to the body of the caretaker's son who is a seven foot plus giant who was brain damaged at eight years of age and has that mentality.

Of course after that the two headed guy runs completely amuck causing great concern to law enforcement not to mention Dern's wife Pat Priest and best friend and fellow scientist Casey Kasem. That's right disc jockey and second rate Dick Clark, Casey Kasem. And as an actor I have to say Kasem is a great disc jockey.

Of course Kasem is no actor, but what did the rest of this cast think they were signing up for?
