"Santo Vs The Vampire Women" released 1962



The only reason I know about this movie is because it was featured in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, where it was riffed by Mike Nelson (who celebrates his birthday today!) and the bots. Santo vs. las Mujeres Vampiro (Santo. vs. the Vampire Women) was released in Mexican theaters October 11, 1962.

The main character Santo was the title of professional wrestler Rodolfo Guzman Huerta, born September 1917.  He appeared in numerous movies portraying El Santo (The Saint).

In this movie, Santo must battle a group of female vampires who have wakened from a 200-year sleep.  The queen vampire must find a successor and has her sights set on a professor's daughter.  The professor employs Santo to keep her safe.
