*********** Coffin Joe
With his curling, claw-like fingernails, his habit of leaving corpses in his wake, and predilection for morbidity both on and off the screen, Jose Mojica Marins seems more a creation of one of his own films than the person who might make them.
Yet during the 1960s, he (along with his alter ego, "Coffin Joe") was one of Brazil's best-known popular figures, a prolific director and star of macabre horror films, whose career and reputation are only now spreading outside of his homeland.
In the 1960s he had a handful of massive hits, one of which remains in Brazil's box-office top 10. He had a television show and lent his celebrity to a comic strip and a range of consumer goods
But after a military crackdown and political censorship that sent many of his filmmaking colleagues to Europe, he was forced into bankruptcy.
"His career kind of disappeared," says Andre Barcinski, a Brazilian music and film journalist who, with his partner Ivan Finotti, has documented Mojica's career in the Sundance prize-winning documentary Coffin Joe: The Strange World of Jose Mojica Marins. "He did not bring back the character of Coffin Joe. He became a gun for hire, did westerns and erotic films in the 1970s and 1980s. Today we have this weird situation because he is very well known, he has become like a national icon, if he walks down the street people recognise him, but the majority of people today haven't seen his films."

Lost and Found Ohio invites you to rediscover all our cemetery related blog articles a cornicopia of strangeness refreshed daily. Such as this one...
Police are looking for the owner of a 700-year-old human skull found washed up on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The child's skull was found on September 12 last year at the Basin, north of Mona Vale Beach. Investigators enlisted the help of anthropologists at New Zealand 's University of Waikato, who used radiocarbon dating to conclude the skull was about 700 years old. The experts concluded the skull belonged to a child between four and six years old, who was not Indigenous. Northern Beaches detectives say the skull probably belongs to a private collector, a museum or a research facility. Anyone with inquiries about the skull is urged to call Northern Beaches Police on (02) 9971 3399 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
