(Curiously, in re-created footage of Blue Demon early in his career, he is played by another wrestler, not his son). He also appears in another recent video documentary VIVE GUERRERO: A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF EDDIE GUERRERO. Luis

Oh I completely had forgotten about this movie and interestingly it's absent from IMDB. Luis

The heroes in the plot are El Volador and El Misterioso. Vampiro--Guerrero de la noche is a semi-sequel to Luchadores de las estrellas (linked via the character "Larrosa" played by Gloria Mayo). Watched these two lucha flicks last night for the first time and first one LUCHADORES DE LAS ESTRELLAS is the best of the two but the print quality looks like it may have been sourced from a VHS tape awful looking. Gloria Mayo is pretty sexy as a female wrestler "Larrosa" who has out of this world secret and is aided by the two male heroes El Volador and El Misterioso (who won't ever make me forget El Santo & Blue Demon) in battling and outer space menace in the form a big goon played by wrestler Nitron and three mini-size aliens played by midget wrestlers. The second film VAMPIRO, GUERRERO DE LA NOCHE is a complete mess as the story goes another alien, a male aided by a couple of hot female aliens, who decides to kidnap El Vampiro Canadiense for his two female cohorts and it's up to Larrosa (played by the lovely Gloria mayo again) to save him but she must avoid being captured as the male alien has eyes for her. Funny thing here El Vampiro Canadiense has very few speaking lines and his voice was dubbed (apparently he doesn't speak well enough Spanish) and actually spends a good time of the film tied to a bed while under the power of the aliens.

Also Lady Apache doubled for La Rosa in both films during the physical action scenes and inring matches.There was at least one "real life" version of the gimmick but she never caught on.

Bad guy not a space alien? That shows you just how much I was paying attention to this really bad film that may me dose off a couple of times. Seeing how bad the second "Larrosa" film was it's a good thing they threw in the towel after this one. Luis Last Edited By: luisj40 05/15/08 12:54:46. Edited 2 times.

I kid you not.

The picture above is another title available at their site and you can access the listings directly by clicking on that pic. Any details (or corrections) on the contents of the title pictured or the other listed are appreciated.

Curiously, the photo of "El Santo" is actually El Hijo del Santo. The credited director is Luis Kelly, who also made a feature film which sounds very interesting (sadly, I've never seen it, so the following synopsis may not be 100% correct!): Calacán (Grupo Emulsión y Gelatina--IMCINE--DASA Films--Focimagen, 1985) Genre: Fantasy; Dir: Luis Kelly; Cast: Mauro Mendoza, Silvia Guevara, Dora Montiel Synopsis: young Ernesto accidently overhears some sinister beings plotting to replace traditional sugar calaveras (skulls and skeletons) and calabazas (gourds) used for the Day of the Dead celebration with plastic "Halloween" artifacts. With the aid of his father, who sells traditional sweets for the festival, Ernesto travels to the enchanted village Calacán to warn the inhabitants of the danger. The boy and his allies--animated calaveras and other friendly but macabre characters--defend and protect the traditions of the Day of the Dead.

Does El Hijo del Santo appear in the documentaries (perhaps justifying his being on the cover)? Anyway the main point of my post was to point out that the triple feature found in the Wal-Mart $5. bin seems to be available from their web site. If you click on the picture it should/will take you to their web-site and the listing that includes the aforementioned Luchadores Triple feature.
