These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves.

—Gilbert Highet

Synopsis: A psychically gifted young woman discovers a centuries-old crate buried on her aunt's ranch. Opening it, her family discovers the living head of Gideon Drew, a 16th century devil worshiper who was beheaded by Sir Francis Drake.


Reaction: For its time, the movie works pretty well, even with a few ridiculous moments. But the MST treatment makes it fun.
