A Mobster is Fission for Revenge with the "Creature with the Atom Brain" - Tonight!

Posted on December 10, 2022

Tonight on MeTV- weird science helps a vicious mobster get revenge against enemies who betrayed him- as dead men are restored to life by atomic radiation! Each one is a walking dead killing machine- and each can best be described as a “Creature with the Atom Brain”!

We are introduced to a crooked nightclub owner- but we don’t get to know him too well, because he is attacked by a hulking individual who claims to be mobster Frank Buchanan. This doesn’t make sense to the victim, since the brute doesn’t resemble that man in the least! The police who arrived at the scene can’t explain why their bullets had no effect on the intruder- and are further stunned by the fact that the intruder’s fingerprints are those of a criminal who is already dead!

Who is the actual Frank Buchanan? We learn he is a dangerous thug who was deported to Europe, where he encountered a scientist experimenting with using atomic power to bring the dead back to life to serve as cheap obedient labor (hope Elon Musk doesn’t get wind of that…). Buchanan hits on a brilliant plan- fund the scientist’s work, bring him back to America, and use atomic zombies to take vengeance on those who crossed him and drove him out of this country. He can even safely remote control these animated corpses to carry out his deadly plans for revenge!

Meanwhile, the police, being helped in this weird case by cop doctor Chet Walker, are confused because blood found at the scenes of murders appears to be- radio-active! When they finally realize that all the victims had ties to Buchanan, they must try to protect his remaining enemies from being killed as well. This is not an easy task, since no one knows how to fend off this unstoppable army of murderous zombies!

This is a unique 1950s horror film, from Sam Katzman, who also brought us “The Werewolf” and “The Giant Claw”. In this encore show recorded in the top secret Sven Cave, we’ll tell you about the cast, play our “Too Drawn Out” drawing game, and have a few highlights from a few years ago at C2E2 (Don’t worry – we still have some from THIS year’s convention that you will see soon!) Doug Graves and I will be preforming a song as well. Plus- Kerwyn presents his annual segment featuring just some of the viewers who dressed up as yours truly for Halloween!

“Creature with the Atom Brain” lumbers onto your TV tonight at 8 pm eastern/pacific, 7 central. MeTV invites you to join the many Sven viewers who live-Tweet during the show on Twitter- just make sure to use the hashtag #svengoolie – and, chances are, just like last week, we may be among the top-trending topics in the U.S. ! Our local Chicago area viewers get another look at the Karloff/Lugosi classic “The Raven” at 11 am on the U. (By the way- for those who had hoped it was the 1960s “The Raven “ with Vincent Price, Karloff, and Peter Lorre- be patient until next year!)
