THE MAN
AND THE MONSTER
aka: El Hombre Y El Monstruo |

Horror |
| This Mexican
horror classic is another wrinkle on the Faust story. It tells the story
of a concert pianist, who desires international fame so he sells his soul
to the devil. Satan's price: whenever the pianist plays a particular selection,
he turns into a monster. After a string of brutal murders perpetrated by
this musical Jekyll/Hyde, he is foiled by a quickwitted concert master.
When the orchestra strikes up the fatal tune, the pianist goes through
his slavering metamorphosis before a packed audience. Abel Salazer produced,
wrote and stars. |

NIGHT
OF THE BLOODY APES
aka: La Horriplante Bestia
Humana; Gomar the Human Gorilla; Horror and Sex. |
1968
- Mexico
Horror |
| A "classic"
in the bizare world of Mexican cinema! This film is a gory, misogynist
exercise in rape, wrestling and surgery from Mexico's premier father-son
"Z"-movie team Rene Cardona and Rene Cardona, Jr. Essentially a remake
of the elder Cardona's Doctor of Doom, laced with more sex and violence.
José Moreno stars as a brilliant but misguided surgeon who tries
to save his ailing son by transplanting an ape's heart into his chest.
The results are slightly strange, creating a hairy gorilla-man with a wrestler's
physique who loves nothing more than to rape women and rip men's faces
off. The only one who can put a stop to this horrific rampage is a masked
female wrestler!. And if the gore-murders aren't exploitative enough for
you, the Cardonas spliced in actual open-heart surgery footage to fully
illustrate the Moreno's handiwork! |

Horror |

is set in an old dark house, where a group of relatives gathers for the
reading of a will. Soon a capricious phantom begins to terrorize the guests.
It turns out that the "dear departed" hasn't departed at all, but is merely
pretending to be dead to test the devotion of his family. Alma Rose Aguirre
and Raoul Martinez star in this quirky blend of comedy and horror. A very
early entry in the Mexican horror genera. Director Miguel Delgado later
became a prime mover of the Santo series of the 60's |

his crypt so the evil doctor can get at the treasure within. This time
