From Wikipedia:

Brain Damage is a 1988 American comedy horror film written and directed by Frank Henenlotter. It stars Rick Hearst in his debut acting role as Brian, a young man who becomes acquainted with a talking parasite known as Aylmer (voiced by John Zacherle) that injects him with an addictive fluid that causes euphoric hallucinations; in return, Aylmer demands that Brian allow him to feed on the brains of other humans.

The movie logo in red animated caps with irregular counters is based on a typeface that was almost thirty years old at that point: it’s the boldest weight of Safari, released around 1960 by Headliners. In 1963, the Medium weight was used on the cover of Where the Wild Things Are.
