Pack your bags…for terror! Our friends at Trash-Mex are presenting a screening of Vacation of Terror (Vacaciones de terror), a gonzo cult gem of Mexican horror that turns a family getaway into a nightmare of pure VHS-era mayhem.
When a family retreats to a countryside cabin, they expect relaxation. What they get instead is a possessed doll channeling ancient witchcraft—and unleashing havoc on anyone who crosses its path. With campy special effects, over-the-top scares, and a story that could only come from the golden age of Mexican genre cinema, Vacation of Terror has earned a reputation as one of the most enjoyably bonkers horror films of its time.
So grab your popcorn (and maybe a crucifix?) and get ready for a wild ride, Trash-Mex style!
