José Mojica Marins

Mar 13, 1936 - Feb 19, 2020 (83 years old) in São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

José Mojica Marins (March 13, 1936 - February 19, 2020) was a Brazilian filmmaker, actor, composer, screenwriter, television and media personality. His interest in filmmaking began at an early age. When Marins was three, his father ran a local cinema, and the family lived in a flat above the theater. Marins is also known by his alter ego Coffin Joe (loosely translated from Zé do Caixão). Although Marins is known primarily as a horror film director, his earlier works were Westerns, dramas and adventure films.
