26. José Mojica Marins’ At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul (1964)

We watched the absurdist masterpiece and reputed first horror film from Brazil, both directed by and starring the big, strong man himself, Coffin Joe. Beware, brave listener, for this film warns you it is not for the faint of heart, and then completely delivers on that promise. An early example of a director that grew up watching horror movies, then going on to make the horror movie he wanted to see. Join us for this breath of foamy air on the latest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!
