Yesterday marked the birthday of Rodolfo Guzman Huerta (1917-1984), the Mexican luchador enmascadoro knwn as "El Santo." Considered one of the greatest masked Mexican wrestlers of all time, El Santo transformed his fame in the ring to become a much-loved folk hero and Mexican movie star, appearing in more than 53 movies between 1958 and 1982, most of which featured Santo as a professional wrestler moonlighting as a superhero.
Santo y blue Demon contra los monstuos was just one of five films Santo made in 1969. Mad Dr. Halder's plan to conquer the world involves reanimating monsters. But he did not count on Santo and his wrestling buddy Blue Demon to throw a spanner in the works. Among the monsters are Dracula, the Mummy, the Cyclops, the Wolfman, and the Vampire Woman. Helping the doctor are his assistants, an evil dwarf and an "octopus" man. Santo surely has his work cut out for him here.
Only four of the Santo movies were dubbed in English and this is not one of them. Luckily, though, this one has English subtitles.
Enjoy.
