31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 21: SANTO AND THE BLUE DEMON VS. THE MONSTERS 1970 (HANNOVER HOUSE)

The greatest film to ever come out of Mexico!

I review this every October during the 31 Days of Halloween because this is essential viewing.

Santo & The Blue Demon fight to stop the evil Dr. Halder and his army of monsters. Blue Demon is captured early on and his evil twin tries to kill Santo many times with the help of the monsters.

This film is one non stop wrestling match between the Masked Santo and Dracula, The Wolfman, Frankenstein (here called Franquestain), The Mummy, a Cyclops and two incredibly sexy vampire women, plus Halders army of green skinned zombies. Some classic images and dialogue (if you understand Spanish) that will stick with you forever can be yours if you watch this.

The most classic scene in my opinion is where Santo wrestles a masked wrestler named El Vampiro, who of course is Dracula, who knows some pretty good wrestling moves. The Mad doctor's niece shows a cross to the wrestler and he changes into a bat and suddenly all the monsters charge the ring!! I simply love that scene, and Franquestain drives the get away car!!

Gorgeous Hedi Blue is the niece, Gloria who happens to be Santo's current girlfriend as well. If you've never seen this, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT AT SOME POINT!! If you have seen this watch it again and savor every delicious moment.
