El Vampiro y El Sexo

So, the biggest and newest news in the world of Santo and Mexican lucha cinema is that the fabled "El Vampiro y El Sexo" has been discovered. This film is actually an extended cut of El Tesoro de Dracula (1968) meant for overseas screenings. For a long time, many felt this edit may have been never truly made, and only promotional posters and stills were made. During a hunt through the vault for an upcoming documentary on producer Guillermo Calderon Stell (producer of many Santo films), Calderon's neice, Viviana García Bensé, found the reels of this legendary film.
Essentially, they added a bunch of nudie sexy extended scenes involving Dracula and his legion of sexy fledgling vampiras. This is actually somewhat shocking, considering Santo's films were for the most part generally wholesome. Many believe Santo may have never known about this extended oversees edition.



This film, along with several others hand selected by Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth director), will be shown at a film festival in the University of Guadalajara March 29th (tomorrow).

While I'm not exactly interested in the nudie extended stuff, I would be excited for a nicely made collector's dvd or blue ray, with documentaries, and voice commentary. That's a lot to ask for, considering many of Santo's movies are hard to find even with subtitles, or even outside the gray-market.
