## Resource

Even the Wind is Afraid (1968), Darker Than Night (1975), and Poison for the Fairies (1986) Mexican Director Carlos Enrique Taboada may not be the best known name to American horror fans, but he has made some films which are considered classics of the Mexican horror world. Which is why we decided to tackle 3 of this films in this episode. These films are fascinating as they are modern stories but wrapped in a gothic blanket. This episode is a little different for us, as we didn't pick films that we necessarily loved. In fact, many of these films were first time watches for us. When on your path of Discovering the Horror, you might stumble across a new name or film that you've never heard of. And as we always preach, even if you don't put them into any personal top ten lists, there is usually something in there worthy of your attention. That's the fun part of the journey, to always be seeking out new things. Join us as we discuss 3 titles that may not get much attention in the United State, that we feel are worth your attention, and as we into films from a country not especially know for horror in the 70s and 80s. Films mentioned in this episode: Alucarda (1977), The Blood of Nostradamus (1962), Cronos (1992), The Curse of Nostradamus (1961), Darker Than Night (1975), Destroyer of Monsters (1962), Even the Wind is Afraid (1968), Genii of Darkness (1962), The Hell of Frankenstein (1960), Poison for the Fairies (1986), Rapini (1975), El Vampiro (1957), The Witch's Mirror (1962)
