Luchadores vs. vampire women in a fever dream of foam rubber and vengeance.
The vampire women of Mexico have awakened to take their revenge on the descendant of the man who destroyed them shortly after they had emigrated to Mexico during the 19th century.
Practical Effects
Foam rubber bats on visible wires. Oscar-worthy? No. Iconic? Absolutely.
Costume
Santo's silver mask never comes off, not even for implied romance scenes.
Production
Shot in eight days with the budget of a used car. The hustle is real.
Director
Federico Curiel
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Santo was Mexico's most famous luchador, appearing in 52 films. This was his 29th, and by then the formula was sacred: mask on, monsters fought, minimal dialogue.
Director Federico Curiel supposedly filmed this back-to-back with 'The Mummies of Guanajuato' using the same cave sets and actresses in different wigs.
