The Manster (双頭の殺人鬼, Sōtō no Satsujinki; "The Two-Headed Killer") is a 1959 American science-fiction horror film. Shot in Japan, it was produced by George P. Breakston and directed by Breakston and Kenneth G. Crane from a screenplay by Walter J. Sheldon. Sheldon's script was based on Breakston's story, which he originally titled The Split.
The film stars Peter Dyneley as a foreign correspondent in Japan who is given an experimental drug which causes an eye, and eventually a second head, to grow from his shoulder. Tetsu Nakamura plays the mad scientist, Dr. Suzuki, and Terri Zimmern his assistant, Tara. Jane Hylton also stars as Dyneley's wife.
