Launching BAR TRASH as we mean to go on, Creature With The Atom Brain is a chilling science-fiction thriller from 1955 directed by Edward L. Cahn (Invasion Of The Hell Creatures) and penned by legendary screenwriter Curt Siodmak (Bride Of The Gorilla). A detective investigates a series of murders orchestrated by a mob boss and an ex-Nazi scientist. Turns out the bad guys are reanimating dead thugs to do their dirty work using atomic radiation… Can anyone stop their nuclear-powered zombies?
