Nosferato In Brazil
This is one of Cardoso's first films-shot totally in Super 8mm. It's a parody if the age-old vampire story, but this time Nosferato decides to feed on the bikini-clad beauties lying on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro (land of the string bikini, mind you!) Lots of laughs, skin, and ingenious use of locations!

Scarlet Scorpion
The Adventures of the Angel was a favorite (fictitious) radio theater serial created by writer Alvaro Aguiar during the sixties. The serial featured The Scarlet Scorpion, a mean and nasty cloaked villain who would torture any maiden for the single purpose of obtaining a secret formula. He had one major enemy - The Angel - impersonated by a millionaire playboy who fought for law and order and assisted by three faithful friends: Metralha, Faisca and Jarbas. Everyone in radioland loved The Angel, hated The Scarlet Scorpion and the show was hugely popular. As Alvaro comes up with stories, he becomes possessed by his characters: imagining that Rita Mara (the voice of his heroine Doris, "the brave and beautiful reporter" and girlfriend of The Angel) is suffering at the hands of the sadistic Madam Ming and her pet cat Satan in The Scarlet Scorpion's "Agony Castle." And often life is stranger than fiction: there's Rita, the ambitious star of the serial who will do anything to advance her career; Gloria, the obsessed fan of The Angel; and Alvaro, who believes that The Scarlet Scorpion really is committing crimes out in the real world -- and eventually gets to live out her fantasies, when he breaks into her apartment while she's listening to the very last episode of the serial (just when the villain's identity is about to be revealed) pant, pant! Will The Angel rescue her in time?

Secret of the Mummy
Laughed at when he announced the discovery of the elixer of life, a scientist Professor Expedito Vitus, devotes himself to the reconstitution of a map which has been divided into eight parts. The owners of these parts are being mysteriously murdered. Thanks to this map, he ends up making the most important archaeological discovery of the century: the tomb of Runamb, the Mummy, in the sands of Egypt (Rio de Janeiro trying to look Egyptian that is!). Back in Brasil, the professor brings the Mummy back to life, who was actually a dangerous psychopathic murderer obsessed with the image of Nadja, the dancer who had turned him down. Three thousand years later the revived Mummy sees Miriam, a radio station reporter who he believes is his dear Nadja's reincarnation. Hilarious and scary by turns!

Seven Vampires
Frederico Rossi, a restless botanist, begins his experiments with a rare, carnivorous plant that he has ordered from Africa. The experiments are dangerous, so as a precaution he prepares an antidote against possible poisoning. The plant attacks him, and his wife Silvia only finds the tattered remains of his clothing. She is then attacked but manages to escape finding refuge in their country home. It seems that Silvia has contracted a strange disease that produces rapid aging from the plant. She takes her husband's antidote to reverse the effects. Rogerio, an old friend of Rossi's invites her to work in a nightclub, where she performs a ballet called the "Seven Vampires"." And from that moment in, a succession of horrendous murders begins to terrorize all those connected to her.
