   Monday evening, I was delighted to see they were showing "The Brain That   
   Wouldn't Die" on TCM.   
      
   "Great!" I thought. I'll get to see the uncut version, and maybe some   
   cool stuff that the MST version had to leave out.   
      
   How mistaken I was. The TCM version showed Dr Cortner going into the   
   strip club, but left out the part where the two cheap strippers were   
   trying to pick up the doctor, and their ensuing wrestling match.   
      
   Then, when the monster-mutant behind the door grabbed Curt's arm, they   
   cut the part where he staggers upstairs, smearing blood on the wall.   
      
   And to top it off, in the final scene where the monster-mutant finally   
   gets his mitts on Dr Cortner, TCM cuts out the part where he takes a   
   bite out of the doctor's neck and throws the morsel on the floor.   
      
   Holy neck juice! How squeamish can you get? Even MST, which tries to   
   edit some movie content down for acceptable viewing, left those scenes   
   in. I felt those particular scenes were ciritcal to the movie, to set   
   its tone and give it some real emotional punch.   
      
   Even MST's comedy rendering of the film displayed a ton more courage and   
   integrity than TCM. Maybe this fact is old news to most of you, but I   
   was shocked. Or maybe I should say "not shocked in the slightest," after   
   watching this old horror fave on TCM.   
      
   I'll know better next time.
