This filmography is listed by the year in which production began, which is the standard way of dating Mexican films (thus, a film which started shooting on 31 December 1968 is a "1968 film" in this system). Release dates and copyright dates on films may therefore differ from the dates below. Clicking on a hot-linked title will take you to a synopsis of that film.

UPDATES:

• Review of Infraterrestre (see bottom of page).
• SANTO ON DVD! Last year, Santo vs. la invasión de los marcianos was released on DVD (a very nice package). Now, Rise Above Entertainment and Ventura Distribution are preparing to release at least 15 titles on DVD and video this year! The first will be Infraterrestre (2000), to be followed by Santo y Blue Demon contra el Dr. Frankenstein and Santo y Blue Demon contra Dracula y el Hombre Lobo.

Review of Infraterrestre (2000).

How do I find these films?

Here are some companies which currently are selling pre-recorded Santo tapes and/or DVDs--

• Oxxo Films.
• Mixup.Com (a Mexican seller, search by "DVD" and then "Santo.")
• Laguna Films.
• Spanish Multimedia.
• PicPal.
• JPR Record Club: search under "Cine Mexicano" and Santo is listed as "Enmascarado de Plata."
• Santo Street, pre-records and others.
• You will note I did not list Ventura Distribution (see top of page) because I believe these companies sell to video stores, etc., not directly to the public. But you can buy online from Rise Above Entertainment.

  Another one source for the Santo DVDs is Santo and Friends.

By the way, I am still personally looking for copies of MISION SECRETA EN EL CARIBE (the Spanish version).

Some Additional Info and Links

These include reproductions of the posters for Santo films Santo vs. la invasión de los marcianos, Profanadores de tumbas, and El mundo de los muertos. Contact him for information via his webpage.
• El Inframundo, reviews in Spanish and English. Added 26 May 2001.
• Atomic Dragon's Homepage, a site with a LOT of photos, poster and lobby card repros, etc.
• Official Santo Page (apparently with the backing of El Hijo del Santo): Spanish-language version only at this point, but English is coming. A lot of great, rare photos and other info.
• Ask Brian Moran about Santo Street: great newsletter with interviews, reviews, photos, poster repros, etc., about Mexican wrestling and fantasy films. He also sells comics, posters, toys, videos, etc.

If you like reading the reviews attached to this page but wish you had a handy PRINTED version, The Santo Companion is for you! Issue #3 of this zine carries print versions of my reviews of Santo's films thru 1970, along with some different artwork. (issues #1 and #2 feature lots of pressbook ads and art from films starring Santo, Blue Demon, etc. #4 concludes the Santo filmography and features an article on the serial version of "El Enmascarado de Plata.").

Bobb Cotter has changed the title now to "Santoscene" and continues to put out entertaining issues for $5.00 postpaid: from Bobb Cotter, 1004 N. Willey St, Morgantown, WV 26505. If you'd like details of what is in the issues not mentioned above (they are all Mexican wrestling/fantasy film oriented), contact Bobb at: santoscene@adelphia.net

Please note: I don't benefit financially from sales of this publication, but I do recommend it anyway!
