El museo del horror (The Museum of Horror) 

In early 20th century Mexico, a disfigured man abducts women in order to drench their faces with scalding wax. Police remain clueless. Meanwhile a romantic triangle simmers between Marta, a young nurse; Raul, a peculiar doctor; and Luis, a former actor with a physical disability. This demented, expressionistic yarn follows wax museum horror tropes while mixing heated romance with grave robbers, oneiric episodes of the dead rising, heads in formaldehyde, grotesque decomposed faces, and a couple of musical interludes. 

El barón del terror (The Brainiac) 

As Baron Vitelius burns, accused of multiple crimes by the Spanish Inquisition, he curses the bloodlines of his executioners. Some 300 years later, he comes back to sow the seeds of his revenge under a new form: a hairy humanoid brain-eating being with giant crab-like claws and a long, forked tongue. Prepare yourself to meet the most bizarre creature spawned by Mexican cinema who has crossed borders, time, and the limits of the absurd.
