“What is life?
It is the beggining of death.
What is death?
It is the end of life!
What is the existence?
It is the continuity of blood.
What is blood?
It is the reason of the existence!”
--Coffin Joe's opening lines in At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964)


"The first Coffin Joe film À meia noite levarei sua alma (At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul, 1964, Brazil, José Mojica Marins) was Brazil's first horror film. It is a sensational and cruel début."--The Routledge Companion to World Cinema

José Mojica Marins (13 March 1936 – 19 February 2020) was a Brazilian filmmaker, actor, composer, screenwriter, and television horror host. Marins is also known for creating and playing the character Coffin Joe (loosely translated from Zé do Caixão) in a series of horror films; the character has since gone on to become his alter ego as well as a pop culture icon, a horror icon, and a cult figure. The popularity of Coffin Joe in Brazil has led to the character being referred to as "Brazil's National Boogeyman" and "Brazil's Freddy Krueger".
