"Brain Damage" is a 1988 American horror comedy film directed by Frank Henenlotter ("Basket Case", "Frankenhooker").

Plot

It features a young man named Brian (Rick Herbst) who has an unwilling symbiotic relationship with a malevolent slug-like brain-eating parasite called "Aylmer" (voiced by famed creature feature host John Zacherle). Aylmer secretes a highly addictive, hallucinogenic blue fluid into Brian's brain. In return for a steady supply of the fluid, Brian must seek out victims for Aylmer, so that he can devour their brains. The film was largely a metaphor for drug addiction.

"Basket Case" cameo

Near the end of the film, a man is seen on the subway with a large wicker basket. He is none other than Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck) from "Basket Case" carrying his brother with him.
