‘Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe’ – Arrow Video Blu-ray Set Celebrates Brazil’s Greatest Horror Icon

Considered by many to be “Brazil’s Freddy Krueger,” the horror icon known as Coffin Joe was played by the late José Mojica Marins, who wrote, directed and starred in a series of outrageous movies from 1964 to 2008. They’re collected together for an Arrow Video Blu-ray set that was just announced this morning, fittingly titled Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe.

The 6-disc Blu-ray set will release in the US, UK, and Canada on November 28, 2023.

“Newly restored from the best available elements and packed with extras, Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe is a love letter to one of the great iconoclasts of horror who forged his films in the face of military dictatorship and religious censorship to become Brazil’s national Boogeyman.”
