Filmed entirely in 1987, HOUSESITTER…THE NIGHT THEY SAVED SIEGFRIED’S BRAIN sat unfinished for thirty-two years. Thanks to Skywalker Sound and the  Paramount Pictures color department, fright fans can experience this deranged sci-fi horror mashup for the first time!

Combining 1980s horror and 1950s sci-fi, HOUSESITTER…THE NIGHT THEY SAVED SIEGFRIED’S BRAIN tells the story of Andy, an idealist medical student with a serious Elvis obsession, who must stop his mentor, the mad Doc Crosby, from acquiring thirteen human brains from unsuspecting local college students. Can Andy save his friends from the madman’s scalpel?

From Robin Nuyen, and written and produced by Richard Gasparian and Robin Nuyen, HOUSESITTER…THE NIGHT THEY SAVED SIEGFRIED’S BRAIN stars Holly Kaplan (American Crime Story, Shocker), Robert Small (Flight of the Navigator, Seaquest 2032), and Stephen James Carver (Star Trek : The Next Generation, Star Trek : Deep Space Nine).
