For those of you with access to LATV [available in some markets as a digital channel or cable station] you'll be happy to know they have been and are going to be airing Santo movies Saturday nights after their CMLL wrestling show. The movies are at 8pm eastern 7pm central time. These are hosted movies so some trimming may occur in the films but up to now I haven't noticed any significant editing of the films. So far they have aired SANTO VS LA VENGANZA DE LAS MUJERES VAMPIRO and SANTO VS LA MAFIA DEL VICIO with SANTO VS LOS HOMBRES INFERNALES and SANTO VS LA MAGIA NEGRA following in the next two weeks. The movies are hosted by twenty something hosts and the station is obviously doing it because their transmissions of CMLL wrestling are popular so I guess they want to keep the rating up there. The upside is that this might introduce Santo to a new generation of fans.

Ok, so I'd like to start a Santo DVD collection, but I'm new to this particular genre and would preferably like to find dubbed or subbed DVDs, and am at a bit of a loss. For instance the only place I found Santo y Blue Demon contra los Monstruos in subtitled form was at santoandfriends.com though amazon, deepdiscount and oldies have that as a double feature for $7-$13, but it looks like they are not subbed or anything. Any suggestions on favorite titles and best places to buy them from? I'll probably get |

Thanks for the offer David! I forgot that now that I live back in SF, that I have "Le Video" available to me. This is the San Francisco mecca of off the beaten path and mondo cinema rental! They do have several of the Santo DVDs (and VHS!  ) So far I've watched Santo y Blue Demon contra los monstruos (liked it) Santo contra las mujeres vampiros (loved it) and Neutron Vs the Death Robots (was ok) Before I remembered about Le Video I already ordered and have on the way Santo vs the martian invasion Santo: Infraterrestre (the newest one with Son of Santo and with "modern special effects") Reading this blog, I'm going to see what I can find from his suggested top ten list to try as time permits. Santo top ten part 1 and part 2 |
