Title: Looking for a film involving snakes Post by: Count_Orlok on September 15, 2016, 04:55:58 PM This is a second hand account, so I'll post some background. My family (particularly my Dad and myself) enjoy discovering and watching
It's from the fifties, or possibly the sixties, and has these snake-like creatures in it. But they're not normal snake creatures, they are like "brain-snakes" with a physical brain attached to the snake. He watched it alone one night in the seventies on an Akron T.V. channel past midnight. I don't have much more description right now but I can ask him. In the meantime, thank you in advance!

Andrew reviews it here (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/fiendface/). There is a very good picture of the "snake/brain" creature at the bottom of that review.
Not knowing how large the creatures are, or how much "snake" they are compared to how much "brain", other possibilities include The Crawling Eye (1958) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052320/) (aka "The Trollenberg Terror") (Andrew's review (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/crawleye/)) and Island of Terror (1966) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060548/).

Yeah it sounds like Fiend Without a Face (1958) (https://media.giphy.com/media/uEK0mDZd1Dljq/giphy.gif) Title: Re: Looking for a film involving snakes Post by: RCMerchant on September 17, 2016, 09:28:53 AM Not much to go on, but one film did spring immediately to mind: Fiend Without a Face (1958) ([url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050393/[/url]).

Unfortunately, I am not sure that it is this film. I asked him about the film last night. Keeping in mind 5he watched this forty five years ago, he said they were tall- like a king cobra, as if they could stand upright like one, at what seemed like eight feet tall. And they weren't brain stems either- apparently he's familiar with Fiend W/out a Face- couldn't ask because he d catch on- his memory is blurry, but he thinks they were actual, scaly snake bodies. That was it, he said, a snakes body with a big brain instead of a head. Thanks!
