I would have seen it on TV in the mid to late 90’s. I remember one scene where there was a set of stairs leading down to a chair contraption. I believe it was a two-sided chair. The victim was on one side, and the villain on the other. The victim had a large syringe type needle come out and screw into the back of the head. Memories/brain power was extracted from the victim and I believe inserted into the villain.

  • Interesting, thanks for the response. Unfortunately no. No special effects or the like. Might have been produced in 80's. Once the victim was strapped upright in the chair, the needle/syringe/screw contraption came out of the back of the chair on is own and inserted into the back of the head. The victim would die when this happens IIRC.

  • I dont believe there was any sort of pink blob involved as in the ones cited. Seemed to be more mad scientist with a contraption in a hidden basement as opposed to supernatural type
