Mexican Horror - The Golden Age

[Jack J]

Sorry, bud :) Don't know what Tubi is. I'm a middle-aged fart now, I guess

The OpenSubs files should match w/a rip of the French DVDs, but don't quote me on that :)

LOL. A free (and legit) online film streaming service in the US. The EU won't let us watch it, though, but that's why we have VPN.

Thanks. I don't have the films, though, and I'm not on any torrent sites. I don't assume they're on Tubi? lol

There are some on OpenSubtitles.org ;)

Thanks. I assume there are fan subbed versions out there.

THE LIVING HEAD and WORLD OF VAMPIRES were the pair of films, Jack. The French company was Bach Films, I believe.

Now, Casa Negra was a looong time ago and I'm going by pieces of half forgotten memory here, but I remember a French member on Cinehound told me that two announced films that Casa Negra had restored, but didn't release because they went belly up, those two restored versions actually came out from a French label. But sans English subs. I forget the titles, though.

Noice!! Thanks for the link, Paul.

You're welcome! :)

I was able to send them a copy of the script with English subs just in time for them to put it on the disc. They were going to release it with no English options. A copy of the script is in the extras.

The good old days.

Gary, mate, you da man!!!

For what it's worth, I recently threw together an article about the 'golden age' of Mexican horror cinema for an online publication: https://www.thefilmagazine.com/mende...horror-cinema/

From part of Vinegar Syndrome's newsletter:

I very much doubt their Mexican horror releases will be from the "golden age". They know what butters their bread these days, and it's stuff from the 80s/90s. So expect the horror films to be from that era. DON'T PANIC seems like an obvious choice for them.

our first foray into Mexican horror all in store for the Fall.

Yeah, great job Paul (and if you ever find yourself wanting to write stuff like this and can't find an outlet, feel free to drop me a PM).

Thanks, Ian. I'll bear the offer in mind and probably get back to you after the summer.

That's excellent, Gary. Those CasaNegra releases are very much treasured.

[Ian Jane]

Either way, high five!

Now that I think on it, there was similar situation with the first release of The Aztec Mummy. I had the English script for that too and sent it in. It may have been the Mummy that was going to be in Spanish and not Pit. Things get blurry after 15 years or so.
