"Psycho a Go-Go" was released in 1965, after which new scenes were added the following year, and was retitled "The Fiend with the Electronic Brain." Finally, more footage was added, and the film was released again as "Blood of Ghastly Horror." So, according to which version is watched, the degree of "hodgpodgeness" will be different. The basic story involves Vietnam veteran Joe Corey (Roy Morton) who has been crazed by an implantation in his brain to solve post-war problems. It all begins when jewel thieves hide their loot in the back of David's (Kirk Duncan) pick-up truck. Later, when the thieves attempt to claim their prize, it can't be found. When Joe is sent to retrieve it, he kidnaps David's wife and daughter. Now David is hot on the trail.
