Plot:
Credits roll in front of an image of demons. In 1661, the Inquisition charges heresy against Baron Viterius. The charges include witchcraft, evil, necromancy, and seducing
maidens. All the while, Viterius has a giant grin on his face. The tribunal sentences him with torture. If the baron bleeds, that is proof of his guilt. The Narrator reports that
Baron Viterius was laughing all the way through his torture.
A witness, Marcos Mirada, testifies that Viterius is a good man devoted to science and the arts. The tribunal disbelieves Marcos’s story and sentences him to 200
lashes. Marcos is taken away.
Viterius is to be stripped of all his property and sentenced to be burnt to death.
Marcos, who recovered awfully fast from 200 lashes stands among the crowd of villagers to watch the burning. The torch is set and Viterius is about to be toasted. Viterius
sees an approaching comet.
A postcard of a comet will be a great special effect.
I said I'd help with the barbecue but not like this.....
Chanting, he sees each of the Inquisitor’s tribunal unmasked. In 300 years, he shall return to seek revenge on their descendents.
The years pass by until reaching 1961. At a swinging club, a swanky couple leaves. The man is an astronomer and heads to the observatory.
The head astronomer, Professor Milan, is watching the skies. He questions Ronny and Victoria about comets. Research has led them to believe a comet last seen in 1661
should appear in a few minutes. Ronny mans the telescope and is unable to spot it. Victoria is able to find it, though.
Victoria and Ronny go outside to watch it and search to inspect the strange light the comet emits.
A guy is searching for where he thinks the comet crashed. The rock disappears. A growling monster chases him. The monster’s feeding tube sucks the brain from the
guy. The corpse’s clothes vanish except his underclothes. The monster turns into Viterius wearing the dead man’s clothes.
Victoria and Ronny run into the Baron. They question him about the comet. We learn the Baron is an astronomy buff. Ronny is impressed and offers to show Viterius
the research at any time and leave.
In a bar, the Baron finds a lone floozy. In the vernacular of Semisonic “It is closing time.” Floozy has a feeling of knowing him and just drawn to the Baron who hasn’t
said a word. Rico Suavay charm ensues. Baron morphs into the Brainiac. A feeding attack ensues.
At least, I have an 18 inch forked tongue that Gene Simmons would envy.
The coroner tells the cop about the murders. It seems to be a guy with an electric drill. The exact same characteristics show the killer to be quite skilled, too. The cops learn
a bank was robbed on the same street where Floozy was found. He cops are briefed by the coroner before leaving.
Viterius visits the remains of the Inquisition headquarters which has become a museum. He stops where the crypts are kept of the leaders on the Inquisition.
Later, a strumpet hits on the Baron. Suckin’ face ensues. He walks away and brainiacizes into the Brainiac. The strumpet is cowering in fear as she becomes another snack.
The cops are still investigating and are sure it’s a schizophrenic.
Professor Milan, Ronny, and Victoria are puzzled how the comet seems to have vanished. Milan, Victoria, and Ronny are invited to Baron Viterius’s housewarming.
Chief and his sidekick are invited as security for the Baron’s party.
At the party, the Baron spots a guest who is a descendent of his enemies. Just so we get it, the Inquisition robe is superimposed over the guest. The next guest is a woman
who is another descendent. Victoria apparently is a descendent, too. Ronny is the descendent of Marcos Mirada, the man who testified in Barons’ behalf. The social graces
ensue.
In the back corner of the room where everyone is, Baron heads away from the party and readies a drink made from human brains.
The police arrive to guard the guest after most everyone arrives.
Later, the Baron extols the virtues of the country, etc… All the guests thank their host again as they leave. The police leave, too.
Professor of history shows the Baron some records of the Inquisition. Maria, the professor’s daughter, stops by to pay a visit. Viterius checks out the daughter. A record
is found about a trial with a Baron Viterius. Viterius explains the charges in detail. The accused was burnt at the stake. Viterius claims to have no ancestors and reveals he was
burnt 300 years ago on the orders of the professor of history’s ancestor. Viterius admits to be the one executed in 1661. Professor can’t believe it. The Baron hypnotizes Maria
and her father.
Maria walks over to Viterius and gets a little somethin’ somethin’. The brainiacization ensues as Viterius kills her and the professor who has a truly incredible bug-eyed look
on his face.
How can Pocket Ninjas be remade Keanu Reeves and directed by Michael Bay?
The Brainiac trashes the place enough to impress a rock star on hotel room rampage. Viterius sets the house on fire.
Cops know the professor and his daughter were killed like the others. The bodies are taken back to the morgue.
Ronny and Victoria read about history professor’s death. Milan can’t find anyone else hasn’t spotted the comet. He mentions something about evidence of a sorcerer.
Baron pays a visit to more of his guests. They are working on an experimental metal. Viterius hypnotizes the guy and his wife. The wife literally throws herself at the
Baron. Brainiacization ensues. Brainiac-Baron kills the wife as the husband is powerless to do anything to stop it. Husband is ordered to jump into the nearby incinerator.
Victoria and Ronny discuss the latest deaths. Ronny has a feeling that the Baron is somehow involved.
The cops pay a visit to the Baron. They do a little snooping while waiting for Viterius. The chief finds some clue. They ask the baron about the deaths of his party guest
think there is a connection between them.
Later, the Baron checks where he hides his stash of brains.
Chilled Monkey Brains are a fabulous dessert.
The stash is moved into a steamer trunk.
The newly married couple is greeted by Viterius. Ronny and Victoria also greet the Baron.
The couple is readying for a night of marital bliss. Viterius appears and scares her. She runs from him and finds her husband dead and hanging upside down from the
shower. Viterius explains how her ancestor was involved in his trial. He morphs into the Brainiac.
The cops research the museum for the records and even the markers on the crypts in the catacombs.
The coroner explains the same thing has happened to the latest victims.
The cops stop by the observatory and find Professor Milan to see Ronny and Victoria. They learn the couple went to pay a visit to the Baron.
Ronny and Victoria are waiting for the Baron to arrive. Viterius is having another small taste of the wonderful cerebellum.
The Baron wants to give Victoria a jewel. Ronny must wait before getting the data on the comet. Viterius and Victoria leave the room. Ronny gets suspicious about
the steamer trunk.
Viterius is laying on the charm but still has to get rid of her. Apparently, he is warm for her form.
Ronny is working on picking the trunk’s lock.
Baron explains how Victoria is the last descendent.
Ronny is finally able to get the trunk open.
Baron chases Victoria around when Ronny rushes to her rescue. Viterius doesn’t want to kill Ronny, since his ancestor defended him.
Victoria and Ronny are trapped. The Brainiac closes in on them.
The cops bust in with flamethrowers!!!
Who you gonna call? The Flamethrower Police Brigade.
It is about time the police are properly equipped.
The Brainiac is par broiled. It morphs back into Baron Viterius before morphing into a barbecued skeleton.
