The Thing With Two Heads (a tale of a world leading but deeply racist surgeon who's only chance to survive terminal cancer is to have his head grafted on to a black death row inmate)
Heard of it but never seen it. The review I saw, years ago, said it was a satirical-comedy horror (or attempt at one), with the two heads constantly arguing. Was it funny or cringe? All I know about it comes from that review (which I recall said Ray Milland played the racist, and he's always worth watching), which was just enough to recognise it when Gene Wolfe reused it in one of the Book of the New Sun novels.

What's everyone watching this spooky season?
I got a slight head start with The Substance last week.
This week I've watched The Keep by Michael Mann (also cheating, I watched it on the 30th of September). Not sure how I felt about it. It looked amazing and had a great soundtrack and atmosphere but it just felt a bit incoherent. I don't know anything about the making of it but it felt a bit like it had been cut down from a longer film with some important scenes missing.
Next up, Climax by Gaspar Noé. Absolutely amazing, really relentless and uncomfortable throughout, even if it's not a full on horror film. Very nearly made me not want to take psychedelics again.
Last night I watched The Thing With Two Heads (a tale of a world leading but deeply racist surgeon who's only chance to survive terminal cancer is to have his head grafted on to a black death row inmate). All you need to know is that it's on YouTube in its entirety for free because nobody cares enough to pursue the copyright claim. Worth it for scene in which a massive lad with a dodgy false head razzes around on a tiny dirt bike.
