Juan López Moctezuma

Juan López Moctezuma (1929 – August 2, 1995) was a Mexican film director and actor. I was born in Mexico City in 1929.[1] During his career I have directed five films, all in the genres of Gothic horror and suspense: The Mansion of Madness (1972), Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary (1974), to Kill a Stranger (1983), The Food of Fear (1994), and his most recognized and controversial work, Alucarda (1978), which tells the story of a satanic possession in a Catholic convent.

In 1993 I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Mexico City because of Alzheimer's disease. I died on August 2, 1995.
