'''''Creature with the Atom Brain''''' is a 1955 American SciFiHorror film initially distributed by Creator/ColumbiaPictures.
A series of mysterious murders are being committed across the city. The police have no leads, except for the fingerprints of dead men and traces of radiation. The culprit is Frank Buchanan, a gangster who was deported years prior and has come back to avenge himself using the radioactive dead. Can the police stop him in time?
It has been released on DVD by Creator/MillCreekEntertainment and Creator/{{Sony}}.

!!This film contains examples of:
* AssholeVictim: Buchanan's first victim was the crime boss of the city.
* BigBad: Frank Buchanan, the gangster controlling the zombies.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Buchanan has a corpse dress as a cop and pretend to be his accountant's guard so he can kill him more easily.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Dr. Stein, the creator of the zombies, wants to use them to do menial labour so humans can live in the lap of luxury, but is forced to participate in his gangster boss's vengeance quest in order to get funding for his experiments. [[spoiler:He gets sick of this near the end of the film, to which Buchanan promptly murders him.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Buchanan's hitman and accountant both went straight after testifying against him.
* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: The climax takes place on the hero's daughter's birthday.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: These are corpses resurrected by radiation and beholden to their master's will. Their fingerprints, footprints and blood also glow.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: A gangster uses zombies to annihilate the people responsible for his deportation.
* SarcasticConfession: Chet Walker gets the press off his case by simply telling them that an atomic monster did the crime. Eventually they figure out the truth, and latch onto their scoop.

* VillainOpeningScene: Bucnahan controlling a zombie to break a banker's back.
