Horrorfest 2019: The Thing That Couldn't Die


Directed by Will Cowan, written by David Duncan
Starring William Reynolds, Andra Martin and Jeffrey Stone
1958

After an ancient box is found buried on a ranch by the ranchers’ water-divining daughter, it is opened to reveal the disembodied head of a man executed for sorcery 400 years ago. The head possesses a dimwitted ranch hand and the two embark on an odyssey of murder.

Where do they come up with this stuff? Vampires, I get. Resurrecting the dead, sure. Mummies and wolf men? Okay. But digging up disembodied heads that get carried around by Lenny-esque ranch hands, looking to be reunited with their bodies so they can regain full power, doing battle with a girl who claims she can divine water? Points for originality, I guess.
