Monster of the Day #1921

After the atmospheric but ultimately disappointing Mexican horror flick The Similars, we popped in the stunningly atmospheric and not at all disappointing Mexican horror flick The Black Pit of Dr. M. The film is wildly all over the map (as opposed to The Similars, where the same scenes happened again and again and again), but man, that flick drips with mood. The gorgeous presentation was via the DVD from CasaNegra, a company that specialized in fantastic disc of old Mexican horror movies–if you ever see their disc for The Brainiac, grab it–and which went out of business and remains much missed.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    It’s always a “black pit,” isn’t it? Never a blue or a red one.

  • Flangepart

    Or purple stripes with green spirals. Now that’s different!
    “That…is the gaudiest hellpit I’ve ever seen, Merle.”
