About this episode
This week we celebrate Latin American Heritage Month with a look at a horror movie out of Mexico that is very hard to put into words and so we try anyway and sound like complete lunatics. Falling toward the end of the Galindo family film dynasty, Vacation of Terror 2: Diabolical Birthday (Vacaciones de Terror 2: Cumpleaños Diabolico) sees Galindo cousin, Pedro Galindo III with a surprisingly stunning cast of Mexican movie stars. Pedro Fernandez turns up in yet another movie for the Galindo's with his magnificent curly mullet and easy cool. Teen pop star Tatiana shows up to sing her hit single Chicos Chicos as she ages out of the teen pop arena but just a few years prior to her ascent as one of Mexico's biggest children's entertainers. The whole cast is rounded out by a bona fide legend of Mexican film, Joaquin Cordero and I have to wonder if any one of these actors stopped for a moment and pondered what exactly they were doing in this movie because if we were any one of these actors we would be very confused and very concerned. In this very loose sequel to 1989's Vacation of Terror the evil witch-possessed doll somehow escaped its fate of the previous movie and winds up as a prop on a movie studio. With a lot of questions probably best left unanswered, the doll hides under an elaborate birthday cake and transforms into a horrible slimy goblin creature and wreaks havoc on the movie lot as our heroic Julio and bouncy Mayra race against the clock to save the imperiled soul of her sister, Tania, before the sun rises and the slimy witch goblin steals her soul for good. Or something. Look, just go with it.
