Trash-Mex Tapes returns and I bring it back with 2 specific oddities from my collection. The first tape being of a film that seems to be virtually unknown & maybe “forgotten”. The second tape is of a film about time-travel & reincarnation while using clips from an old romance-drama film. “What Are These?” Indeed.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Why of all people is making a list like this? “What are the best Mexican films of all-time?” is one of those questions I get asked often and while I’ve mentioned a variety of titles here & there, I’ve never exactly made a list of what I felt were the best Mexican films of all-time and alas, here we are.

I don’t ever say “espooky” because that’s really cringe & sounds so forced, but it also a “trendy” thing to say now and why not catch on to that for this “horror” edition of Trash-Mex Tapes . I mean “Espooky” edition. Pozo Del Diablo (1990) MDVC (Million Dollar Video Corporation) I’m just letting you know now that this is not a slasher movie & definitely not a horror movie either.

Foreword: Back in May I began a themed-post on Instagram entitled “Trash-Mex Tapes” where I’d highlight some of my Mexican VHS collection. And while I will continue to post on Instagram , I’ve now decided to expand Trash-Mex Tapes on the website with more write-ups on the films, their releases, and of course post plenty of screenshots & video material—if permitted.
