Face of the Screaming Werewolf
A scientist experimenting with past lives finds a reincarnated Aztec who can lead him to lost treasure—and to a creature that should remain lost. (Composed of footage from two unrelated Mexican horror films, LA CASA DEL TERROR and LA MOMIA AZTECA, plus new American-made footage.)
Why it matters
A bizarre Frankenstein’s monster of Mexican mummy horror and werewolf lore stitched together with patchwork editing and wild tonal shifts.
- A cult curiosity that mashes Aztec mysticism, mummy tropes, and werewolf scares in an unholy combo only 1960s exploitation could birth.
- Jerry Warren’s infamous “cut-and-paste” technique turns this into a midnight-movie oddity rather than polished fright fare.
- For fans of regional monster cinema and low-budget bricolage, it’s a textbook case of how horror films were repurposed for American drive-ins.
- Notorious for its uneven pacing and narrative chaos, but the vintage monster designs and campy charm offer a curious window into cross-cultural genre mashups.
