He boards the Trans-Siberian Express with the frozen being, intending to take it to London. But, the body thaws and comes to life. It turns out to be an alien from outer space that when it looks at a person, the individual's brain is boiled and the person is turned into a zombie. The alien also can take over anyone's body. The professor will need help from his rival (Peter Cushing) and a Cossack captain (Telly Savalas) if he is to subdue the creature. A Horror/Sci-Fi cult classic.
