SANTO IN THE WAX MUSEUM 1963 (LIONSGATE)

This is the Spanish language version of the Mexican classic.

I hadn't seen this version in years, and to let you know , it's not different from the US version except for the dialogue.

Dr. Karol (Claudio Brook) is having his assistant kidnap people to use in his experiments to create an army of monsters. His plans are, of course, thwarted by Santo.

This movie is a lot of fun and there are shades of "House Of Wax" and other films in the plot. In the American dubbed version our hero is called "Samson" and this was due to the fact that Americans didn't know who Santo was at the time.

Anyway, Santo fights the mad doctor Karol and even tangles with his mutant monsters. If you're a Mexican horror movie fan you should see this movie. Either version is fine and the picture quality on this print from Lionsgate is very good.

The rest of the cast includes Norma Mora, Roxana Bellini, Ruben Rojo, Juan Garza and Nathanel Leon.
