Tubi Thursday: Santo and Blue Demon vs. Dracula and The Wolfman

 Viva Conde Dracula!  Will this Mexican Dracula suck less than the last 2 I covered?

Here's hoping...

A bad man resurrects Dracula and The Wolfman.  Why?

For Satan, of course.

This is the same Dracula who fought Santo over his titular treasure (or sex, as the alternate Title implied)

Our Heroes take a break from Wrestling in a brightly lit, but otherwise empty room (it makes the Thunderdome look full) to help out when the Professor goes missing.

They leap into action...

...by which I mean they sit around and play Chess.

These guys miss people breaking into the House MULTIPLE times and the day is saved thanks to multiple Ex Machinas (mostly this magical dagger).

Don't get up, Champs.

The Plot gets complicated for them when the Werewolf romances a member of the family they are guarding in his human form.

To show how good they are, they leave him alone with her...and he immediately kills her.

*slow clap*

Oh and Blue Demon is captured.
Again.

At least he's not mind controlled to fight Santo...for a change.
He really is the Luigi of this Franchise though.

Can they save the day?  It sure doesn't look like they will.

Of course, they do...and make time for a quick Tag Match.  The End.

It isn't any more or less than you'd expect from them.

Have you seen an El Santo Film?  You've seen most of what this has to offer.

This one does have less prolonged fight scenes against goons, although it does have a couple.

It also has random bits of actual horror- especially once the little girl is left all alone for a bit- so that's nice.

That said, our Heroes are mostly useless.  At one point, Mobsters nearly defeat them.  In spite of that, they fend off like 14-20 Henchmen in the Finale- at least 3 of which are Werewolves.  

There's power creep (Google it) and then there's this!

The Film has a lovely HD Transfer, but it is also Dubbed.  I prefer Subbed (since it is the original Audio) myself, but I can deal with it.  There's also a certain charm to the fairly cheap Dubbing done by what sounds like 3-5 people.

Is the final showdown disappointing?  Yes.  Does that make it kind of funny?  Also yes.

This one is pretty fun, if slow at parts.  That said, here's some real Horror.  Look at this and see how long you can go without checking the nearest window...

A fun Film, either in spite of or because of the Dubbing.  The trade-off, of course, is the pristine HD Transfer.  Yum.
