Here is a genre I really know very little about except that the few things I have been able to get a hold of (like a few of the Aztec Mummy series and the lush Mexican version of Dracula) were moody, beautiful at times, creepy and mostly entertaining. Dracula was released about the same time as the Universal version and was equally atmospheric with camera work to rival the big Hollywood studio and a real ringer for Bela. I have never had the pleasure of seeing any of the Santos superhero wrestler movies. But it is not due to a lack of trying to find them and will continue searching online. The films I have seen were fun and exciting and, of course, more than a little corny. The women are luscious (Dracula’s Mexican brides are far sexier than what Bela Lugosi shared his crypt with) and the monsters sometimes are actually a bit freaky. what wild imaginations. What I am posting here today are some samples of some of the great poster art along with a few stills for your viewing pleasure. Expect more on this subject if I can acquire some viewing material. Enjoy amigo.
