During this period of movie history, studios were making movies to lure young people to drive-ins and walk-in theaters. Usually, the studios didn't care what was on the screen, because most young people would use the opportunity to make out. For those that managed to watch the film, they were usually treated to creepy horror. One film in particular is "The Thing That Couldn't Die." Jessica has a psychic skill that allows her to find things. One thing that she finds is a box that contains the head of Gideon Drew. As many moviegoers can figure out, the head is STILL alive, and wants Jessica to find his body. Seems that Drew was a devil worshiper and was beheaded, his body buried separately from his head.
The film has some interesting points, but it was strictly made for drive-in audiences: enough to keep the little ones quiet, and enough to push the teens into the back seat. Great for a Saturday night fun fest.
