a killer alien that eats brains

[dracula]

Hello... 12 years ago or more, here in spain was released as a novel comic a serie concerning an alien that liked to eat or somethibng like that human brains..., the guy was really ugly but was played by someone... Anybody knows the name of the movie or the serie??

Could this be "Brainiac"?
       In it a warlock comes back 300 years after his death on a comet. For reasons unexplained, the warlock becomes a monster with a big nose who sucks out people's brains and eats them. Jabootu has a very detailed review with pictures at [http://www.jabootu.com/brainiac.htm] http://www.jabootu.com/brainiac.htm [/url]
       I ordered it on DVD a couple of months back but it still hasn't turned up yet.

Did you order the BRAINIAC/WITCH'S MIRROR double feature DVD put out by Something Weird Video? If so, you'll never get it because it got cancelled. In fact, Something Weird has since discontinued all of their K. Gordon Murray titles.

Damn! I was looking forward to that. I guess I'll just have to wait until somebody does put it out on DVD. Thanks for telling me.

Dr Freex did a review of that one too, i think. I'd love to get that cheese burrito!

...you're in luck, because it's supposed to play on KSTC 45's "Horror Incorporated" show November 8th-unless some Mexican copyright lawyers manage to sneak pass the border and force them to play something else. SW most likely had to cancel many of the Mexican titles it planned to release because they are no longer public domain in the United States.

I spoke with someone as SWV not too long ago about getting permission to run STING OF DEATH at Schlocktoberfest and brought up the subject of the K. Gordon Murray films. The guy I spoke with didn't go into details but said there were unforseen circumstances and so they were discontinuing the line. Reading between the lines it sounded like there were copyright problems with some of the films (mostly the kiddie movies) and so they were going to stop offering all of them instead of just a few.  As I understand it, the majority of the horror titles are public domain but only 2 or 3 of the kiddie flicks are. As a matter of fact, Schlocktoberfest is running LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD as the opening movie as it is in public domain.

According to www.kgordonmurray.com, SWV is looking to rectify the situation.
