Santos. Spain.
A spectacular original Spanish edition poster, printed in 1972 for the release of this legendary Mexican-American horror film - Santo Contra Las Momias. The artwork bursts with gothic menace: werewolves, vampires, zombies, mummies and a tiger-eyed demon loom from the shadows, while the silver-masked hero Santo struggles valiantly in the grip of Blue Demon - friend turned foe under supernatural influence.
Fiery skies and swooping bats heighten the drama, with bold, vivid lettering and the iconic Peli-Mex studio mark. Directed by Federico Curiel, this is pure cult cinema gold - a thrilling collision of wrestling, horror and cross-border pop culture history, preserved in this striking first
Do you know….
This film forms part of an extraordinary saga: over 50 movies starring Santo across four decades, making him Mexico's most prolific cinema hero. Alongside Blue Demon and Mil Máscaras, this is the only film ever to unite the three greatest masked wrestlers on screen — the undisputed peak of the entire genre. Santo himself is far more than a film star: he is one of the defining cultural icons of 20th-century Mexico, a symbol of justice, resilience and national identity whose legacy endures to this day."
Edition: Original Spanish release edition. Released in Mexico as 'Santo y Blue Demon contra las Momias de Guanajuato' in 1970, this original Spanish poster from 1972 uses the shorter title 'Santo Contra Las Momias' - the full original title includes Blue Demon, explaining why it may appear under different names elsewhere."
