Three hundred years later, the Baron returns to Mexico City on a comet, to exact a peculiar form of vengeance upon the descendants of his tormentors. by sucking out their brains! From director Chano Urueta (The Witch's Mirror), this outrageous Mexican variation on monster-movie conventions is a firm favourite amongst cult-film fans.
