Luchadores Enmascarados – Vol. 3 (DVD)

The LUCHADORES ENMASCARADOS series resurrects the cinematic genre of lucha libre, a form of Mexican wrestling marked by the use of masks, tag teams, and high-flying acrobatics. Starting out in the 1950s as typical gangster crime dramas, 1960s and `70s lucha libre employed increasingly outlandish storylines involving supernatural foes such as vampires, martians, mummies, and zombies. This collection includes three films from the golden age of 1970s lucha libre that unites some of the genre`s biggest stars. In EL HIJO DE ALMA GRANDE (1976), Blue Demon and Alma Grande Jr. battle a blind alien and his human cult of eye-worshipers. In LOS VAMPIROS DE COYOACAN (1974), Mil Mascaras and Superzan rescue a beautiful maiden from the clutches of vampire dwarves. And in LA MANSION DE LAS SIETE MOMIAS (1977), Blue Demon and Superzan take on an army of mummies.
