El tren de los muertos vivientes

About this issue

This Spanish-language horror serial follows two transport workers who collect four sealed, locked coffins from an isolated mansion and deliver them to a train. The workers' examination of the unusually heavy caskets is thwarted by their ancient locks. At the railway station, after police seal the coffins with wire and lead, one transporter is horrifically killed under a moving train; the other, fleeing in panic, crashes his van into an oncoming truck. The narrative then shifts to the night express carrying the mysterious sealed coffins and its passengers—including a young guitarist named Roig and his friend Xemil entertaining three young women in the bar car, while disapproving elderly passengers object to the irreverent music aboard a train carrying the dead. The coffins' true nature and purpose remain ominously unrevealed.
