100 CRIES OF TERROR (1965, Mexico, 95 min.)
Director: Ramón Obón. Cast: Ariadna Welter, Joaquín Cordero and Ofelia Montesco.
Language: English dubbed. Subtitles: none. Fullscreen.
Very rare Mexican Gothic horror from director Ramon Obon. Anthology containing two superb tales of terror. This atmospheric compendium comprises of two bone rattlin’ supernatural yarns, with the latter tale clearly being inspired by Poe’s 'Premature burial'. Both stories have considerable merit, but the ‘Cripta De Terror’ segment is a truly unusual and decidedly effective foray into ice-veined, sepulchral horror. $20

Director: Rene Cardona. Stars: Maura Monti, Roberto Cañedo and Héctor Godoy.

A mad scientist creates a man-fish using the bodies of Mexican wrestlers and a goldfish!!! Yup! Director Cardona wanted to cash in on the U.S. Batman TV show craze of the time period, and boy oh boy, did he! Copying the bat-uniform (which Batwoman only wears while wrestling. While fighting crime she’s bearing all in a skimpy bat-bikini!!!) to a cheapo copy of the Bat-mobile and a monster that’s similar to our Gillman from The Creature From the Black Lagoon. A must for fans of Mexican horror/sci-fi cinema, and now available in a very good quality English subtitled print. Better than most of what’s floating around on the collector market. Original title: “La mujer murcielago”. $20
