About this Event

dir. Fernando Mendez // 1958 // 1 hr 20 mins

From Fernando Mendez, director of what is probably Mexico's most famous gothic, 1957's El Vampiro, comes this Edgar Allan Poe-inflected tale whose Spanish-language title more closely translates to "Mysteries from Beyond the Grave." When two doctors make a pact that the first one who dies will find a way to bring the survivor across to the "other side," it sets into motion an EC Comics style tragedy that reminds us to be careful what we wish for in this atmospheric gem filled with torchlit funeral processions, mist-shrouded courtyards, horribly burned faces, and much more.

For four weeks in September, Orrin Grey and the Stray Cat Film Center team up to bring you some of the strangest, eeriest, and most chilling horror flicks from south of the border. Haunted monasteries, mad doctors, witches, ghosts, mummies, and more await you in four underseen classics of MexicanGothic.
