History Film / SamsonVsTheVampireWomen

* HypnoticEyes: The vampire women have this power. Tundra uses it at the dance to hypnotize Diana's fiancé Jorge into dancing with her, and Diana into dancing with her mook, so that Diana can be quietly abducted.

* {{Homage}}: There's a good chance that El Santo from ''Film/JesusChristVampireHunter'' is a spoof of this movie's hero.

* SeriousBusiness: Since the movie keeps up the same {{kayfabe}} that El Santo and other luchadors displayed in the ring, Santo doesn't call the match when he realizes his opponent's literally trying to kill him in the ring; instead, he does the noble thing and decides to see it through anyway, risking his life for the honor of the sport. It would be a little more justified if Santo somehow sensed that the impostor was one of the vampire henchmen (since he knows he must fight them eventually anyway, and there's no point in running now), but no such thing is indicated; in fact, Santo appears just as surprised as everyone else when the monster is unmasked, and from all indications just assumed the other guy had lost his mind.

* SeriousBusiness: One of the vampire mooks pulls a KillAndReplace with El Santo's wrestling opponent. El Santo quickly realizes that this is not his actual opponent, and that the imposter is literally trying to kill him in the ring; yet, rather than have the match called, he chooses to see it through. It would be justifiable if it were made clear that Santo somehow senses that the imposter is one of the vampires (since he knows he must fight them eventually anyway so there's no point in running now), but no such thing is indicated; in fact, Santo appears just as surprised when the monster is unmasked as everyone else.

* AirplaneArms: The vampire mooks do this while holding their capes.
* ArtisticLicenseMartialArts: Samson has difficulty defeating a vampire in the ring because he uses karate- and can kill with a single blow! His style of karate sure looks like an elementary school slap fight, though.

* TranslationTrainWreck: The English dub... flubs a few times. "Bat" is always translated as "vampire", for one. And then there's the scene where the professor begs the police inspector's help then immediately refuses to tell him what he needs help with or specify what help is needed. Repeatedly.

* BatPhone: Professor Orloff has a... weird radio thing with a rotating antennae on it that he uses to contact El Santo.

* ReducedToDust: Queen Zorina threatens to do this to Tandra as punishment for failure, and [[BlofeldPlay she actually does it to two other vampires, for no real reason.]]

* BondVillainStupidity: The vampires finally have El Santo in their power, tied up and helpless, but decide to remove Wrestling/ElSanto's mask FIRST, giving time for the sun to shine in and burn them up.

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.

* OutOfGenreExperience: Seems like a fairly traditional vampire film until the MaskedLuchador protagonist shows up, nearly halfway through the movie.

* KillAndReplace: One of the vampires murders another wrestler and impersonates him in an attempt to kill Samson during a match.

* MaskPower: Samson

* {{Homage}} - There's a good chance that El Santo from ''Film/JesusChristVampireHunter'' is a spoof of this movie's hero.

* HolyBurnsEvil: Quite literally when one of Tundra's minions comes face to face with a church cross and bursts into flames before Santo can get to him.
