I love watching VHS recordings of TV broadcast movies with commercials, I'm also Portuguese, and this is one of my favorite Halloween horror movies so I find this video hilarious.
It's a broadcast of the 1995 film Jack-O on "Cine Trash", a hosted horror movie show that only lasted a year (1996-1997) and aired on the Brazilian TV network Rede Bandeirantes, or simply known as Band. The show was hosted by "Zé do Caixão" aka Coffin Joe who presented horror/trash/low budget films from the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's including many great classics of the genre. HellBusiness.com has a list of all films that aired on Cine Trash.
Coffin Joe (Zé do Caixão) is the iconic alter ego of Brazilian filmmaker, actor, and writer José Mojica Marins (1936–2020), renowned for creating Brazil's first horror film, At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964). As a cult figure with a top hat, cape, and long nails, he is considered "Brazil's Freddy Krueger," representing an amoral, atheistic character obsessed with finding the perfect woman to continue his bloodline.
On Cine Trash, Coffin Joe—flanked by his female assistants called Pombas Giras (“Cute Pussys”)—would introduce the featured film, but not before unleashing the “Plague of the Day,” a tongue-in-cheek curse daring viewers to change the channel or turn off the TV. The program originally aired daily, Monday through Friday afternoons. After eight months, it shifted to a nighttime slot, though in this revamped version Zé do Caixão remained as host for only a few weeks.
The first video below contains the opening of Cine Trash and intro by Coffin Joe, just to see how the show started, below that it's followed by the TVrip broadcast video (both spoken in Brazilian Portuguese, sorry no English subtitles). I'm not sure if this intro was part of the broadcast, there is no opening credits or intro in the broadcast video. They were uploaded by YouTube channel @BandCineTrash where you can watch more Cine Trash intros and promos featuring Coffin Joe.
That's a Cine Trash Coffin Joe newspaper ad and Brazilian Jack-O (1995) VHS cover at the top of the post and more newspaper ads and Portuguese DVD cover at the bottom.
