‘Jueves de Horror’ Screens ‘Santo Contra Hombres Infernales’

“Jueves de Horror” takes over the Bob Baker Marionette Theater every Thursday in October for a screening of a beloved classic scary movie paired with a performance by the marionettes. Scary is a flexible term, particularly when applied to “Santo Contra Hombres Infernales,” the 1961 film directed by Joselito Rodriguez starring famed lucha libre wrestler El Santo, a man so dedicated to his craft he was actually buried in his signature silver mask.

Across his film career, the legendary wrestler battled all kinds of evildoers: vampire women, mad scientists, monsters, you name it. In this particular flick, El Santo helps an undercover agent take on drug-smuggling criminals who’ve been turned into zombies by an evil scientist.
