SANTO AND THE BLUE DEMON VS. DRACULA AND THE WOLF MAN (1973)

I'll never understand why this film hasn't been added to the Criterion Collection yet.

Not me thinking about my injured Luchadors... can't wait for Fenix, Bandido, and Vikingo to return to my tv screen

Forty Days of Frankenstein, Day Thirty-Five: So, I have a theory of sorts—call it Eernisse’s conjecture—which I’ve seen evidence of time and time again.  Given a major pop-culture character with a sufficiently long story run, the character in question will eventually, at some point, encounter the Frankenstein monster. (An inverse corollary is that if a major pop-culture character has not encountered the Frankenstein monster, it is merely because the character’s story run is currently insufficiently long.)  A list of pop-culture character who have encountered the Monster in some form or fashion includes: Dracula, Mighty Mouse, Batman, Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, Mr. Magoo, Ernie and Bert, Sherlock Holmes, Santa Claus—the list goes on and on.  And in 2011, cover dated November, Mike Mignola’s excellent creation Hellboy met the monster, in an original graphic novel, *Hellboy: House of the Living Dead*.  It’s a loving valentine to the 1944 Universal monster mash *House of Frankenstein*, mixed with Mexican luchador monster movies.  Hellboy and the Monster end up drinking tequila in a bar together, which is exactly what you want.  The Monster’s design is very over-the-top, with a truly silly number and placement of electrodes.  It works, though.

Santo vs The Martian Invasion (1967)

Most genre movie freaks may have moved on to shiny new boutique Blu-rays and moldy old VHS tapes, but I still collect most of my movies at the tried-and-true distribution hub of the thrift store DVD rack.  You don’t always find rare gems at the thrift store, but you often find movies cheaper than they cost to rent on streaming, with the added bonus of a Special Features menu that most streamers…

If I ever went to a WWE, AEW or NXT show, I'd bring these 2 luchador Squishmallows with me and wave them in both of my hands in the audience, but I'm afraid I'd be caught on camera waving them around and some wrestling fans online would call me a nerd and a geek in a negative way.

FYC 2023: Wrasslin' Weepies

Unsurprisingly, a lot of this year’s major Awards Frontrunners are solemn biopics of men who committed some of the worst sins in human history: the invention of the atom bomb, the daily operation of concentration camps, the genocide of an Indigenous nation.  As much as The Academy has attempted to reconfigure what qualifies as an Oscar-Worthy movie, it’s clear that the Oscar-friendly template of…
