Rafael Baledon was a prolific Mexican director, helming 90+ films in the three decades between 1953-84. These including some of the classic genre movies, like CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN (La Maldicion de la Llorona) and MAN AND THE MONSTER (El Hombre y el Monstruo). Rafael had begun his career as an actor in 1938 and - despite his heavy workload behind the camera - he continued performing until his death in 1992. He appeared in more than 80 movies and starred in 13 different television series. Mr Baledon died from a heart attack at age 74, May 1994.

Joaquin Cordero was one of Mexico's top movie stars, appearing in 200+ films between 1949 and his death (from respiratory failure) in February 2013 at age 89. He is probably best known for the role in Carlos Enrique Taboada's horror masterpiece BOOK OF STONE and then later for VACATION OF TERROR. But genre fans always choose his complex performance in DR SATAN and the sequel DR SATAN VS BLACK MAGIC. Mr Cordero met his death in February 2013 at 89.
