Luchadoras battle a deranged surgeon in this 1963 wrestling picture...
Once more, we're returning to the wild world of 1960s Mexican lucha libre pictures! Last time, we discussed 1969's Santo in the Treasure of Dracula, but this week's film pits female luchadoras against a twisted surgeon and his experimental brain transplants. It stars Lorena Velázquez (of Ship of Monsters) as star wrestler Gloria Venus and Roberto Cañedo has a really fun role in the picture as well. Oh, and did I mention there's also an ape-man? It's Las luchadoras contra el médico asesino AKA Doctor of Doom.
What's up next on Weirdhouse Cinema? We'll release the kraken with 1981's Clash of the Titans -- and the Friday after that, we'll do something for Saint Patrick's Day.
