If you don't like Coffin Joe, leave this blog forever. I'm serious. No, not the 12-year-old emo asshole from The Horrors, I'm talking about the undisputed king of South American horror, Zé do Caixão. For my and the benefit of others, I've complied a list of DVD and VHS releases of his works. The list isn't definitive, and I'll be updating it as I find more releases, but I hope it gives fans a pointer at where to start the hunt. So after the jump, check out Coffin Joe's horrifying, chilling, and wonderful videography!

I was recently given a copy of At Midnight, I Take Your Soul. I haven't watched it yet but am looking forward to it.
I'd bump it up in the to-watch pile if I were you. *hint hint*
I've seen both At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul and This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse - both very solid, though I have to admit, I didn't care too much for how the second film ended. I've also seen Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures, which I thought was really interesting, and I dare say I even liked it a bit. Awakening of the Beast was okay, but a bit out there for me liking. Lastly, last October I saw Finis Hominis - I don't blame Coffin Joe, but I hated that film so much. True, I need to re-watch it, but boy, did that film take some will power to get through. Many thanks for compiling this list. - Michael (Beyond the Darkened Door horror reviews)
And one more comment - I know Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures under this foreign title: Fracasso de Um Homem nas Duas Noitas de Núpcias (1975), yet you link to another film A Estranha Hospedaria dos Prazeres (1976) - have I been mislabeled the film I saw for years now? Hope you are doing well.
