GREAT SPOOKY FUN FROM MEXICO!

I'm glad to see on Imdb that others have enjoyed this one too. The bizarre music alone is reason enough to see this movie. This is a dyed-in-the-wool spook movie, with its creepy atmosphere and great sets. The hoakiness only adds to the charm and puts it above what are called "bad movies." I love the big hairy (obviously fake) laughing bat that The Count turns into! I also greatly enjoy the dialogue about coffee drinking. I'd also recommend World of Vampires and Curse of the Doll People, which are both highly entertaining mexi-horror spookshows.
