What are your favourites?

El Espinazo del Diablo (The Devil's Backbone), Cronos, El Esqueleto de la Señora Morales (The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales), La Horripilante Bestia Humana (Night of the Bloody Apes)...and all them Santo & Blue Demon flicks fighting monsters, mummies, witches, mad scientists, zombies, vampires, werewolves, and space aliens, lol.

...and that Spanish-language Dracula (filmed at the same time as the Tod Browning's English version one)...many of the cast and crew were Mexican/Spanish.

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) is not exactly horror...but it's a fantasy film with some elements of horror...that one is also a Mexican film (although set in Spain with a mostly Spanish cast).

I used to go to the "matinee" every sunday morning to watch all Santo or Blue Demon movies, they will always play some stupid spanish western or romantic movie first and the main feature Santo vs ..... or Blue Demon vs.... lots of fun!!!

MY Favorite are the Neutron Movies. You can't go wrong with early 1960s Lucha Libre flick with the evil Dr, Corante. Like Star Wars it has many parts 4-6? movies. There is a mystery about who the secret identity is of the hero is with 3 possible choices. C'mon it's got Zombiesssssssssssssss!

I am also a big fan of the comics, I was lucky and bought a big batch that was from Roy Thomas's collection years back.

I forgot to mention that there are both Spanish and English dubbed versions of the Neutron movies around.

Did anyone see Rock and Roll Wrestling Girls versus the Aztec Mummy? That is another classic I love. I think someone(Something Strange Video?) added a new hip intro song ect.

I will have get these on DVDs or learn how to tranfer them. LOL
