Brazilian horror legend José Mojica Marins passed away in 2020, and a few months ago Arrow Video announced that they’re honoring the memory of “The Master” by bringing ten of his films to Blu-ray in a limited edition collector’s set that’s packed with special features! The original street date for the set, which is called Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe, was in November, but it has since moved to January 15th. Copies can be pre-ordered through the Arrow Video website. Copies are also available through Amazon, Zavvi, and hmv in the UK and DiabolikDVD, Grindhouse Video, and Zavvi in North America. To preview the set, Arrow Video has unveiled a trailer for it (our friends at Bloody Disgusting got the first look at it), and you can check that out in the embed above.

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 announced earlier this year, fittingly titled Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe.

The 6-disc Blu-ray set will be available on Blu-ray and available to stream on Arrow from January 15, 2024, and you can exclusively watch the official trailer down below!

“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.”

Written by J.S. Brinkley, based on a story by Donald Borza II and directed by Jeff Broadstreet (Night of the Living Dead 3D), Devil’s Junction: Handy Dandy’s Revenge (also known as just Handy Dandy) is a horror movie about a TV studio that is haunted by a ventriloquist from a 60s kids television program. It’s a basic premise at it’s simplest level, but one that immediately made my B-movie horror loving ears prick up in the air and take note. A promise of muderous dummies? I mean, as a huge fan of killer doll and toy films like Puppet Master, Dolls and Demonic Toys, I was there.
