All the Scary John Agar Scenes In "THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS" (1957) (video)




In this low-budget sci-fi thriller from 1957...

...John Agar plays a scientist whose body is taken over...
...by an evil alien brain bent on conquering the Earth.

What frightened kids most when they saw this movie...
...were the scenes of a possessed Agar with wild, gleaming eyes.

The effect involved contact lenses lined with metal foil...
...which were courtesy of legendary makeup man Jack Pierce.

Agar found them quite painful to wear.


I neither own nor claim any rights to this material.  Just having some fun with it.  Thanks for watching!
