 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Brain Damage is the story of Brian (Rick Hurst), a young man who stumbles upon Aylmer (John Zacherle), an evil Muppet worm demon who offers him drug-endued bliss. The catch? While Brian's high, Aylmer burrows himself into the heads of those around them and literally eats their brains. While it takes Brian a while to notice he's being used as a vehicle for murder, he eventually begins trying to fight back. All the while, Aylmer's former "owners" take efforts to recover him and continue to pump the drug out of him.It was directed by Frank Henenlotter, the guy who did Frankenhooker and Basket Case.

 Affably Evil: Aylmer's a pretty chill guy. The most negative emotion we see him express is disappointment when Brian tries to go cold turkey, and mild contempt for his former keepers who kept him weak on animal brains while they drained him.

 The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Aylmer sneaks up on Brian while he's asleep and injects him with an incredibly addictive substance in order to enslave him.

 Armor-Piercing Question: Aylmer asks Brian why he brought the parasite along to the hotel with him if he didn't realize, deep down, that his attempt at detoxing was going to fail.

 Addled Addict: The old woman who used to own Aylmer quickly slips into unstable incoherence as her withdrawal persists. When she gets Aylmer in her hands again, all she can do is repeat his name over and over in glee. Until he eats her brain. Brian, under the influence, is clearly hyperactive and completely out of it. His life quickly begins to revolve around Aylmer, as well.
