The Thing That Couldn't Die is a 1958 American horror film about a man executed for sorcery 400 years in the past whose detached head hypnotizes people in order to have them reunite his head with his body so that he can live and feast on the blood of present-day people.

Based on an original screenplay by David Duncan for Universal Pictures, it was released in the United States on a double bill with the British Hammer Films classic Horror of Dracula in May 1958.
