The Brains

"Vampire Zombies from Space"   digital single

(Cleopatra)



Theodore Bezaire wrote, directed, and produced the 2025, mock '50s drive-in antic of this name. "What a cool and unexpected piece inspired by our film," began Theodore's appraisal of the night-prowling Brains' crispest. " When we were making the film, we never imagined that there would be a song and music video created for it. And it's even cooler that Rene is a fellow Canadian. Amazing work!"

As Brains' label Cleopatra also markets the film, it's not implausible that label execs suggested Rene and cohorts craft a commercial lure. But, even should that be the case, Rene may already have been no less a fan of Poverty Row monster flickers as any amongst us. (Whilst in formative phase, he may have spent numerous late nights awash in television-beamed monster rallies. This writer did.) Best to cast down cynical suspicions and appreciate the song for what it is: A union of saucer antics native to the Plan 9 niche, and undeniably disarming Psycho that makes acolytes of listeners from planets both familiar and uncharted.

PS. The endearingly schlocky B&W film's Dracula reminds a tad of Zandor Vorkov. Those who know, know that's a plus.
