Coffin Joe returns, still hunting the perfect woman, and the film turns Technicolor to show you Hell.
The second Coffin Joe film, in which Jose Mojica Marins returns as Ze do Caixao, the top-hatted, long-nailed undertaker who despises God and wants only to sire the perfect son. Where the first film was stark black and white, this one detours into a delirious colour vision of Hell, all writhing bodies and ice and torment, that Marins staged himself on almost no money and which remains the most astonishing thing he ever shot. Around it is the usual Coffin Joe business: blasphemy, and spiders poured over screaming women. Marins built an entire national bogeyman out of a self-financed, self-starring nightmare that Brazil still cannot quite claim or disown. Uglier, madder and more visionary than its budget had any right to be.

The cycle in depth
- Fantaterror: the Spanish horror boom, 1968 to 1976
Two cuts of every film, one for the censor in Madrid and one for the drive-in. Democracy killed the trick in two years.

Anthony Wong versus the world, armed with a virus and no impulse control.

Pakistan's first horror film: Hammer's Dracula, plus musical numbers, minus permission.
The Nude Vampire
A secret society, a Paris chateau, and dream logic all the way down.
Fascination
Rollin's best, and the one where the pretty dream logic finally grows teeth.
Lips of Blood
Rollin's most coherent, which is not saying a great deal. Gorgeous.

The fake snuff film that got Charlie Sheen on the phone to the FBI.
At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul
The first Brazilian horror film, and the birth of Coffin Joe, a national icon with terrible fingernails.

Margheriti and Barbara Steele do the burned-witch gothic, and the fog does half the acting.
The Iron Rose
Rollin with the vampires stripped out, and his best film for it.
El Vampiro
Mexico's caped vampire, fanged on screen a year before Hammer got there.
Vampyres
Two women lure travellers to a country house and drain them. British, bloody, erotic.
