The Mansion of Madness
The Mansion of Madness (released in Mexico as "La mansión de la locura", in the UK as "House of Madness", and in the USA as "Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon") is a 1973 Mexican horror film directed by Juan López Moctezuma. It is loosely based on the Edgar Allan Poe short story " The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether". The film is the directorial debut of Juan López Moctezuma, who went on to make "Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary" (1975) and "Alucarda" (1977), among others.

Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington supervised sets and costumes with one of her sons, Gabriel Weisz. The repeated appearance of a white horse, Carrington’s alter ego, and the elaborate surreal feasts and costumes has been credited as demonstrating the artist’s vision and several of her recurring motifs.

The film was a Mexican production and was shot in Mexico, using a mostly Mexican cast and crew. It was filmed in English and then dubbed into Spanish for Mexican cinemas.
