Though most people remember the silly, long-tongued monster from early 1960s Mexican horror classic The Brainiac (AKA El Baron del Terror), I maintain that this freaky little scene is the best in the flick. Our hero is the Baron Vitelius, executed 300 years ago, who has returned to Earth in a comet with the body of a space monster. Luckily, he can disguise himself as human, but only if he keeps noshing on human brains. Which gets a little awkwaaard if you're hanging out with a bunch of upper crusty types in your mansion. Abel Salazar stars as the brain eater, and also directed. I love the moment when he eats the brains and makes this "mmm, tasty" face. [The Brainiac via IMDB]
