From del Toro to Jodorowsky: 10 Mexican Horror Movies Hitting the Big Screen for Halloween

Few other cities do Halloween quite like New York City. But if you’re not quite eager to brave the streets to head to its West Village parade or take in one of the many costumed parties in the Big Apple – maybe you’re more of a popcorn and a movie kind of person? – BAM has you covered. Their Holy Blood: Mexican Horror Cinema series is a truly a gift to any self-respecting horror aficionado.

Featuring black and white classic films about everyone’s favorite bloodsucker (starring Lupita Tovar), another about Satanic possessions, a big screen rendition of the La Llorona myth, and even creepy flicks from Guillermo del Toro, Arturo Ripstein and Alejandro Jodorowsky, the perfectly curated program may well be the best way to spend your Hallow’s Eve. Not only will you get silver screen chills courtesy of some truly frightening stories and images (looking at you Cronos), but you’ll get a crash course in what horror looks like south of the border. In case you want to check these out or go out hunting for them for home viewing, we’ve compiled the full list of films screening at the famed Brooklyn venue below. Check them out.

Holy Blood: Mexican Horror Cinema runs October 27 – November 2, 2017.
