''Samson vs. the Vampire Women'' ("Santo Contra Las Mujeres Vampiros") is a 1962 horror film starring the wrestling Mexican superhero Wrestling/ElSanto[=/=]Samson.
The vampire women in Mexico have awakened from their sleep, commanded by their master, [[{{Satan}} The Evil One]], to find him a bride. They choose as their target the [[DamselInDistress beautiful daughter]] (Duval) of a local professor (Augusto Benedico). To rescue his daughter, the professor calls Wrestling/ElSanto, a silver-masked wrestler, ''for great justice''. But even El Santo may have trouble with these vampires; their mooks act like thugs and know Kung Fu.
