Coffin Joe - Cult, Horror, and Politics

The day is perfect for commentary on Coffin Joe's second film of his trilogy. We watched the second one, in which he pays dearly for his deeds in the first one and those in the beginning of the second one, "Tonight I'll Possess Your Body."   I will get into the film tomorrow, meaning later on today.  We were lucky to catch it on IFC,  and it may run again.  A campy  set,  with real spiders and real people playing actors, the theories of José Mojica Marins, the writer-director of these home-made très campy films can be viewed as revolutionary or reactionary.  I am old but not old enough to have seen his films in the 60s. This second one, kinda about reincarnation à la Brazilian, was filmed in 1967. It was a back-to-the-future feeling to see utensils, furniture, girls and their make-up just like me in 1967.   After the Catholic Church fiddled around with its calendar we got three holidays in one. Today is All Souls Day and tomorrow is the Day of the Dead in Brazil. Today is el día de los muertos  and everyday is a horror day in  California, where gas and food sky-rocketed. I won't mention national scandals.  Nialler has some good "horror music."  We stick to the horror stories, don't we?
C ya soon! Later, after some ZZZs and ... coffee. Stay with a bat in the meantime while I get ready to put together a great analysis of Coffin Joe. Later.
