Evil Brain from Outer Space
Evil Brain from Outer Space is a 1964 film edited together for American television from films 7,andof the Japanese short film series Super Giant filmed in 1958.
The nine Super Giant films were purchased for distribution to U.S. television and edited into four films by Walter Manley Enterprises and Medallion Films. The three original Japanese films which went into Evil Brain from Outer Space The Space Mutant Appears, The Devils Incarnation and The Poison Moth Kingdom were 45 minutes, 57 minutes, and 57 minutes in duration respectively. The total 159 minutes of the three films were edited into one 78minute film. Since the three original films were selfcontained stories, three different plots had to be edited together, and a considerable amount of all three films dropped. The result has been called, an alternately mindblowing and mindnumbing adventure... a nonending cavalcade of characters, chases, captures, rescues and fight scenes.Contributing to the difficulties of editing these three films together was the fact that the first film was in the older 43 ratio, while the latter two films were shot in widescreen format. This necessitated the use of panandscan methods to make the three films match. ........
