LADRON DE CADVERES (THE BODY STEALERS)

Japanese Poster for LADRON DE CADVERES.

     They say that the  LADRON DE CADVERES was the first Mexican movie to mix professional wrestlers and horror movies. El Santo and The Blue Demon would later appear in a lot of these kind of films.
     In the film a mad scientist experiments on a wrestler and turn him into a super masked wrestler that he can control. In the ring the super wrestler removes his mask and reveals that he has the face of a monster which cause a panic in the arena after a woman screams that it was The Devil.
     The print I saw was in Spanish with no subtitles so I do not know why a mad scientist would want to create a super wrestler.
