At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (Portuguese: À Meia-Noite Levarei Sua Alma) is a 1964 Brazilian horror film directed and co-written by José Mojica Marins. Marins stars as Zé do Caixão (known in English-speaking countries as Coffin Joe), an undertaker who believes that he can achieve immortality by having a son, a concept he refers to as "the continuation of blood". The film marks the first appearance of the Coffin Joe character in media.

At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul is the first Brazilian-produced horror film,[1][2] and the first installment of the "Coffin Joe trilogy".[3] It is followed by This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse (1967) and Embodiment of Evil (2008).
