The invisible creatures eventually attack and kill the military personnel at the airbase in order to take over control of the radar stations nuclear reactor two of them dialup the power to very dangerous levels. As they do so all the creatures suddenly become visible. Their now visible bodies are revealed to be the missing brains with spinal cords stolen from their victims their spinal cords have become very flexible and have now sprouted tendrils. These mutations also allow the brainspine creatures to move quickly and even leap distances each brainspine has also developed a pair of small eyes at the ends of extended eye stalks.The slithering creations then attack Walgates home, where most of the films principal characters have gathered to discuss the crisis. Some of the brains get inside by breaking through a boardedup window using their tendrils, while others leap to the roof and slither down through the fireplaces open flue. Some of the defenders are attacked and killed, but wellaimed .45 automatic pistol shots to the brains soon make short work of most of the attacking creatures they gorily bleedout as they expire. Professor Walgate exits his home as a diversion but is quickly attacked and killed by his creation. Meanwhile, Major Cummings escapes out the back way and quickly heads to the airbase, where he saves the day by blowing up the radar installations power machinery. This immediately robs the surviving brains of their highenergy food source, and the creatures quickly die, dissolving into puddles of goo. ........
