Samson vs. the Vampire Women ("Santo Contra Las Mujeres Vampiros") is a 1962 horror film starring the wrestling Mexican superhero
El Santo/Samson.
The vampire women in Mexico have awakened from their sleep, commanded by their master,
The Evil One, to find him a bride. They choose as their target the
beautiful daughter (Duval) of a local professor (Augusto Benedico). To rescue his daughter, the professor calls
El Santo, a silver-masked wrestler,
for justice. But even El Santo may have trouble with these Vampires; their mooks act like thugs and know Kung Fu.
The film was featured on
Mystery Science Theater 3000 in 1995; this episode was the swan song for TV's Frank.
