Ep. 2 | Mexico Maleficarum
from El Cine Underground · host SpectreVision Radio
From the vaults, the monsters awake. This episode of El Cine Underground is based on the Mexico Maleficarum film series presented at the Academy Museum with guest curator Abraham Castillo Flores. Together, we reclaim “maleficarum” from fanatic persecution and celebrate the psychotronic spirit of Mexican horror—where luchadores fought vampires on nylon strings, witches and doll people haunted the screen, and delirious imagination defied all limits. Special thanks to Viviana García Besné, Abraham Castillo Flores, and the Academy Museum for helping us summon these defiant films from the vaults. Y gracias a to Austin Saya, who captured Baticine footage in this episode with such care and vision. Created and Hosted by Mariana Da Silva Produced and Edited by Angel I.
