The basic plot was that some alien or supernatural being had been burned at the stake during the Spanish Inquisition as a witch and had returned centuries later to kill the descendants of the people who had killed him (I didn't really understand how this worked). The hook in this film is that the monster can hypnotize people, is irresistible to women, and sucks the brains out of his victims. He looks like a normal man until he attacks. Then he looks like a normal man with a hairy rubber mask on and funky monster gloves. Once at a party he gives for his future victims, while everyone else is having cocktails, he goes to a private stock of brains he keeps in a cabinet and dips out a portion into his martini glass. Yummy! Perhaps the funniest part is when the police inspector is describing the crimes to his assistant over lunch. Of course the assistant is having calves' brains. The movie was probably made in the '50's and is dubbed, which makes it perfect. I wonder when the remake will come? Happy eats, Chip.
