This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse (original title Esta Noite Encarnarei No Teu Cadáver) is a 1967 Brazilian movie, directed by José Mojica Marins, sequel to the first Brazilian horror movies At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul.It starts right where the first movie stopped, showing that after being almost scared to death by the sights of spirits of his victims and found with his eyes horribly disfigurated, he's miraculously alive and recovers from his injuries. Returning to his village after being absolved of all accusations, this time he is even more determined to find the "perfect" woman with whom to sire a son of superior lineage, for his singular, obsessive desire for the "continuity of blood". Assisted by his gaunt, hunchbacked, facially disfigured servant Bruno, he kidnaps six beautiful women whom he puts them through a sadistic trial to determine if one of them exhibits no fear, indicating superiority to bear his child. When the woman named Marcia remains proudly unaffected while the others scream and beg to the terrors they are submitted into, Coffin Joe retains her as his chosen and imprisons the other five in a pit below his bedroom, where he releases venomous snakes to kill them. Too shocked with what Coffin Joe had done, however, Marcia refuses to make love with him, and Coffin Joe lets her go, knowing that she won't report him to the authorities.After this incident, the village receives the visit of the local landowner's daughter Laura, who soon catches the attention of Coffin Joe. Coffin Joe invites Laura to meet with him at midnight, and she quickly falls in love with him.Later, to his shock and horror, Coffin Joe learns that one of the women that he kidnapped and killed using the snakes was pregnant. Feeling guilty for having killed an unborn child, he eventually has a horrible nightmare where is he dragged to a graveyard and pulled into Hell. There he witnesses its inhabitants being endlessly tortured and persecuted.

Worf Effect: Done twice with Truncador, one of the Hero Antagonist s – even though he is supposed to be a muscular bodyguard, he first he gets manhandled in a humiliating manner in a fight with Coffin Joe, and later he even gets knocked unconscious by the deformed hunchback Bruno.

And This Is for...: When the mob chases and surrounds Coffin Joe, Miguel, the man whose pregnant wife Jandir was killed by him says "this is for my child" before shooting him, knocking him on a swamp where he starts being dragged below.

Chekhov's Gun: Played straight with a bystander’s cane during Coffin Joe’s first fight with Truncador and later averted with Coffin Joe’s pipe during their second fight. In the first fight, the camera at first focused on a bystander who was holding a cane and, soon enough, Coffin Joe used that cane to manhandle and humiliate Truncador. Later when Truncador assesmbles an entire gang to abduct Coffin Joe, it seems like he will somehow use his pipe and a nearby wall to defeat them, but he doesn’t – throwing the ash from the pipe merely stuns one of his opponents for but a few seconds, while the rest of them gang up on Coffin Joe and beat him up, whereas the wall turns out to be too high to climb over.

Monochrome to Color: During Coffin Joe's nightmare he's dragged by a dark, lean figure to a cemetery, where hands pull him underground, and he winds up on a colored sequence where he sees Hell and witnesses a series of torture chambers, and even Satan himself, who looks like him in a Romanian Emperor outfit.

Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: A villainous example. In the first film, Coffin Joe relied on improvised schemes to kill his victims using mundane objects. Here, he's shown to have a chamber below his bedroom which he can fill with poisonous snakes, a bunch of tarantulas he can release on his kidnapped victims, a hunchbacked assistant and a device hanging a huge rock above he can control by a panel, which he uses to kill Laura's brother Cláudio

comment
My God, What Have I Done?: After Coffin Joe overhears from one of his victims' husband that his wife was pregnant, he's horrified by the reveal that he killed an unborn child, as his philosophy is that children are the most pure beings and represent the continuity of one's lineage. This guilty disturbs him so much that he dreams of being Dragged Off to Hell, where he sees people being permanently tortured, and his victims come after him claiming justice.

 This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse / int_db2f3581
comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Laura is immediately interested in Coffin Joe, and the first time she sees him, she's already invested in his philosophy, to the point that she's not afraid that he might kill her or moved when he kills her brother, passing his test and becoming his chosen woman. Marcia plays with this trope. She seems genuinely interest in Joe and knows his reputation, even willingly going with him when he comes to kidnap her, but when she sees the other women die on a snake pit, she panicks and rejects him. However, he lets her go knowing that she won't tell on him, claiming that she still loves him.

Hell: Coffin Joe has a nightmare where a shadowy creature drags him to Hell, where witnesses people being buried in the walls of caves, being whipped and poked with tridents by demons, and the Lord of Hell, Satan, appears and looks exactly like him.

Unexplained Recovery: The last time Coffin Joe appeared, his eyes had bulged out of his sockets, as if they were pulled out. After sometime on the hospital and a brief appearance in the credits with bandages on his face, his eyes are perfectly unscathed and there are no scars around them.

Pet the Dog: Coffin Joe is watching a group of kids playing when he sees that a biker is about to get past them and a boy with a blindfold is on the way, so he jumps to push him out of danger. He later scolds the biker when he goes to check on him, both for almost killing that boy and for saying that God had sent him to save the kid.
