Career

Marins is best known for the creation and presentation of Coffin Joe, a figure that is regarded as a horror icon, a Brazilian cultural icon, and a cult figure. The character was an amoral undertaker with Nietzschian philosophies and a snail of organized religion, and it seemed that he was the central protagonist in a trilogy (known as the "Coffin Joe Trilogy) revolving around his quest for "the perfect woman" so he would achieve metaphorical immortality by having a son. Marins reprised his role as the protagonist in This Night I'll Possess Your Body (1967) and Embodiment of Evil (2008), as well as a number of other films and television series after the success of the first film in the series. The character has also appeared in comic books and music videos. Coffin Joe's fame has resulted in the character being referred to as Freddy Krueger's Brazilian equivalent.

Marins is best known for horror films, but the genre's exploitation, heroin use, exploitation (often in the form of pseudo-documentaries) and Westerns have been used by the artists. Marins is known for his low-budget film style, often using associates and amateur actors as cast members and crew. His films are normally set in So Paulo, Brazil.

At a young age, Marins became interested in cinema. He recalled that he made O Juzo Final (Judgement Day), a 8-mm film shot in 1948 at the age of 12. He went from Crossroads to Perdition 1952, and he followed Encruzilhada da Perpetço. Mojica was one of many producers of the 2013 anthology horror film The Profane Exhibit, directing the segment "Viral." In 2014, he collaborated with other producers on The Black Fables, an anthology film.

Marins hosted The Strange World of Coffin Joe on the Brazilian television station Canal Brasil, where he discussed Brazilian media and culture with other contemporary celebrities, such as actors and musicians, in an interview. Zé Ramalho, Rogério Skylab, and Supla were among his visitors.

Marins produced the television show Além do Além (Beyond, Far Beyond the Beyond), a television series starring Coffin Joe and screenwriter Rubens Luchetti from 1967 to 1988. Any scripts were later developed into Coffin Joe comic books. The show's tapes were revived, and there are no such complete recordings of this program.

Marins produced and hosted The Show from the Other World (Um Show do Outro Mundo) on Rede Record de Televiso, where he appeared as Coffin Joe once more. Short horror films were included in the half-hour program, with some of the tales sent by the viewers and adapted by Marins' production staff. The original tapes were reused, as with his earlier exhibits, and there is no evidence of this content.

In 1996, Marins hosted Cine Trash on TV Bandeirantes, a full-length horror movie series.

Marins appears in The Universe of Mojica Marins (O Universo de Jose Mojica Marins, 1978), a 26-minute documentary film directed by Ivan Cardoso. In the film, Marins portrays himself, as well as interviews with Marins' mother Carmem Marins, film editor Nilcemar Leyart, and Sat (Marins' assistant and bodyguard). In 1987, Marins released Demons and Wonders (Demônios e Maravilhas), in which he appears as himself reenacting events from his life, with his family and friends playing themselves.

Marins' life and work are chronicled in this 2001 documentary film Damned – José Mojica Marins (Maldito – O Estranho Mundo de José Mojica Marins), directed by biographer André Barcinski and Ivan Finotti. At the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, it was named Special Jury Prize.
