The film begins with Blue Demon and a tag team partner in a wrestling match. Not surprisingly, the other team cheats horribly but still manages to lose....as Santo watches from the stands.
In the next scene, Blue Demon has found a lair of evil doers and inside the evil tiny hunchbacked man, Waldo, bringing his evil master, Bruno Halder, back to life! Before Blue Demon can stop them, he is attacked and disabled. Soon, the evil doctor and Waldo have managed to use their nasty machines to turn Blue Demon into their mindless slave!! And, soon they are using Blue Demon to destroy Santo! All this happens BEFORE the monsters are unleashed upon the world!
I enjoy the Santo and Blue Demon luchador films because they are unabashedly ridiculous. First, you never see them take off their masks...even when on dates or taking showers! Second, and more importantly, they often battle the most ridiculous villains, such as aliens or Dracula! But in this one, they take it a few steps further and battle not only Dracula but Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, a Cyclops as well as Lady Dracula (who looks like Amy Winehouse)!! And, the makeup is simply awful....the sort of stuff you'd expect from a film made by middle schoolers and a budget of $15!
In addition to this cheese, the film also features a car chase where it keeps changing from day to night and back again (much like in "Plan 9 From Outer Space"), a staged wrestling match at the arena between Santo and Dracula, a crazy nightclub dance number that appears to be clipped from another film that you just have to see to believe and so much more. Overall, it's absolutely terrible by any standard...but also so outlandishly silly and terrible that you can't stop watching. A lot of fun, but clearly a movie deserving a 1 due to its consistent awfulness.
