Santo: Infraterrestre - 2001



Holy shit, 2001? I'm as surprised as you are that those effects were allowed to get past quality control in the new millenium. Still, it's a Santo film, sort of (Hijo del Santo), and that equals awesome.

Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters - 1962 {The Party Never Ends Post}



This fucking gem comes straight from the K Gordon Murray, the man who saved hundreds of films (mostly Mexican) from certain death at the hands of time and obscurity. If you've become familiar with the Santo or Blue Demon enmascarado films from the sixties and seventies, it was most likely thanks to this man. But I digress; on to the film at hand.

Originally titled 'Caperucita y Pulgarcito contra los monstruos,' this American version appears to be an insane trip down the psyche of an undead Mexican Walt Disney. It features Little Red Riding Hood, a character from a series of children's films, battling the Wicked Witch of Mexico, clearly modeled after the evil queen from Sleeping Beauty. Along with her pals - a skunk-man, the wolf and an ogre - they fight Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, an ogre with hurricane breath and more. Fun for the whole family!

Machete (20??)



If you poured a gallon of tequila into a bucket of napalm and stabbed it with a knife while listening to 'Ride of the Valkyries', you might create something half as awesome as Machete.
