Luis Enrique Vergara was a prolific master of making low budget horror and monster movies from 1950 to 1971. In attempt to please all film goers, he created an uncanny mixture of monsters and horror with action, sex, science fiction, and comedy. To save money, he often wrote the screenplay as well as producing the films from his Filmica Vergara Cinecomisiones, a film production company he founded in 1952.
During the two decades that Vergara wrote and produced films he worked with many actors and actress that included, Susana Dosamantes, Macaria, Altia Michel, Isela Vega, John Carradine, and Boris Karloff. He produced the last four films in which Boris Karloff appeared: The Snake People, The Incredible Invasion, The Fear Chamber, and The House of Evil. Bill Warren, the science-fiction historian, was on the set during the filming; he reported that Vergara forced the director of the American sequences Jack Hill to tie down with a rope “an early portable video camera to the top of the 35mm Mitchell he was using as his principal camera.” Vergara knew a visionary idea when he saw one because “video assist” is currently a standard in film making. Due to his unexpected death, the release of the Karloff films was held up due to ownership rights of inheritance under Mexican law.
