Brainwashed and Crazy: Inverted; anybody who resists the Brain's hypnosis becomes a hallucinating, violent lunatic. Played straight with Mrs. Woods who is convinced to kill her husband because he won't watch Blakely's show. | |

The Sociopath | |
| The Brain (1988) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Dr. Anthony Blakely, a psychologist who intends to sell the world to mind control by an alien Brain Monster. Even the reveal that he's also an alien doesn't make him less sociopathic, since we see no indication that that's what all his species are like. | |
