Nosferatu, a Creole Scene

1973 • 30 min • Chile

Fiction written, directed and starring Hernán Castellano, mythologized as one of the missing links in Chilean horror cinema. A mixture of folk horror and satire, the plot presents an alien vampire who, traveling through the galaxy, lands in his grave in Santiago, Chile. Its subtitle of "Escenita Criolla" reflects the character of its modest production and nods to socio-cultural elements of the country. After the coup d'état, the 16 mm copy was buried in the courtyard of the house of one of the actors, and was later finished by Castellano in 1990 in the United States.
