Thanks in large part to an exploitation film producer and
distributor named K. Gordon Murray, a unique collection of horror
films from Mexico began to appear on American late-night television
and drive-in screens in the 1960s. Ranging from monster movies
clearly owing to the heyday of Universal Studios to the lucha libre
horror films featuring El Santo and the ?Wrestling Women, ? these
low-budget ?Mexploitation? films offer plenty of campy fun and
still inspire cult devotion, yet they also reward close study in
surprising ways. This work places Mexploitation films in their
historical and cultural context and provides close textual readings
of a representative sample, showing how they can be seen as
important documents in the cultural debate over Mexico's past,
present and future. Stills accompany the text, and a selected
filmography and bibliography complete the volume.
