## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Dawn over 1960s Mexico City. A comet fractures the sky. A charred skull pulses in a stone crypt.

A baron’s curse awakens in atomic light, crawling through modern streets with a thirst for blood and brains.

Like a rubber-suited Tod Browning nightmare dipped in pulp.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, surreal, unhinged
