Analyzing multiple works of director José Mojica Marins, highlights the cross-section between horror cinema, Victorian Gothic literature, and Brazilian culture.

This book examines the legendary Brazilian horror character Zé do Caixão, created by director José Mojica Marins. It analyses six of his films in their cultural context, exploring their unique blend of early horror cinema, Victorian Gothic literature, and Brazilian folklore. It also investigates the character's evolution in different media (radio, television, comic books, fotonovela, literatura de cordel) and how his oeuvre provide insights into Brazilian national identity. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between Zé do Caixão (creature) and José Mojica Marins (creator), contributing to a deeper understanding of his significance within the global horror film tradition.
