THE SCREAM OF DEATH (1959)


  Retitled THE LIVING COFFIN in English, this is one of those Mexican horror flicks that plays out more like a western mixed with a mystery. It takes the Mexican tale of "The Crying Woman"(the more definitive THE CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN was still a few years away from being made at this point) and strips away any of the supernatural elements and instead gives us a comedy-relief sidekick, shootouts quicksand and a barroom brawl. So, yeah, pretty much a western with just a sprinkling of spooky SCOOBY-DOO-ish elements included. There are quite a few Mexican horrors I would recommend before this including THE BRAINIAC and just about anything with luchadores and monsters
