In the Sixties and Seventies, masked Mexican wrestler El Santo ruled both the ring and the silver screen south of the border. Four of his cheesy horror films, long esteemed by cultists, are being released on DVD. Start with Santo and Blue Demon vs. Dracula and the Wolfman, the purest example of his films' naively absurd and irresistible charm. Monsters wreak havoc, but even more terrifying is Blue Demon's wrestling opponent: Renato the hippie!
