These four macabre titles from the vaults of one of Mexico's best-known film companies offer uniqueIy Mexican takes on the ghosts, witches, and monsters familiar to fans of horror cinema and fiction.
Fernando Méndez's BIack Pit of Dr. M (Misterios de ultratumba) sees a doctor make a pact with his dying colleague in order to learn the secrets of the afterIife. ln Chano Urueta's The Witch's Mirror (El espejo de la bruja), a murderer is tormented by the ghost of his dead wife, whiIst in Urueta's The Brainiac (El barón deI terror), a nobleman executed for necromancy returns in diaboIical form to eradicate the Iineage of his killers... by sucking out their brains! Finally, in Rafael BaIedón's The Curse of the Crying Woman (La maldición de Ia LIorona), a young bride visits her aunt's Gothic mansion, where she finds that she is the descendent of one of Mexican folklore's most terrifying figures.
With their star-studded casts, beautifuI photography, eerie production design, and bone-chiIling atmosphere, these films have terrified audiences for decades, and are now availabIe in this strictIy limited, individualIy numbered Blu-ray box set, which includes an array of new extra features - including four new audio commentaries, and rare English-Ianguage dub tracks - as weII as a set of art cards and a fuIIy iIIustrated 100-page book."
