'El barón del terror' (1962) - Chano Urueta.

Chano Urueta's hallucinatory, dazzlingly bonkers, spectacularly skewed Mexican horror freakshow excitingly blends the wonderfully incongruent themes of lurid Gothic melodrama with gonzoid, brain-boggling Sci-fi tropes! A supposed heretic, Baron Vitelius d'Estera (Abel Salazar) is grimly condemned to a fiery death by members of the no less bloodthirsty inquisition. As the diabolically durable 'El Baron' eerily fails to perish in the sanctifying inferno, d'Estera furiously prophesizes his supernatural return in 300 years to wreak a disgusting cerebellum sucking revenge! 

Remaining frustratingly true to his profane word, the batso Baron proceeds to gruesomely consume the delicate think sponges belonging to the descendents of those religious rapscallions who put him to death 300 years before! Chano Urueta's demonically delirious 'El Baron del Terror' is not only an adrenalized shot of unadulterated B-Movie bananas, it also works admirably as a compellingly off-kilter 60s bone-chiller! This wonderfully warped Mexican horror film's exhilarating lack of subtlety is matched by its disarming eccentricity! The aristocratic, darkly charismatic, Abel Salazar memorably makes for a fascinatingly fiendish villain who can shockingly transform himself into a vile-looking, monstrously malevolent, degenerately brain sucking demon! El barón del terror remains wickedly wrong-headed, consistently creepy, jaw-droppingly delirious Drive-In entertainment from the darkest, iconoclastic realms south of the B-Movie Border.
