Santo and Blue Demon vs The Monsters (1970)

Episode Description from the Publisher

Santo's back, and so are his wrestling zombie enemies! He might be facing a full rogue's gallery of classic Hollywood monsters, but he's not alone in the fight. He's joined by the mysterious luchador Blue Demon... at least until Blue Demon is cloned and turned against Santo. There's just so much to deal with in our first 1970s zombie film that we called in some backup to help us wrestle with it: Javier Grillo-Marxuach (writer for Lost, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, The Witcher, and more). Grab yourself a ringside seat and find out who's still standing at the end of SANTO AND BLUE DEMON VS.
