Santo vs. the Television Killer

The world is a very uncertain place, but there is one thing you can be always sure of - whatever happens, the festival wouldn’t be complete without the firm father figure of Santo presiding over the shockproof proceedings. In this year’s double bill we’ll first introduce El Hijo del Santo, the son of the legendary luchador, fighting the notorious Mexican bureaucracy in a delicious little short and then in the main feature Santo himself gets to fight some masked creep named Magnus, who hijacks the airwaves to announce and then broadcast his crimes. In this outing the masked hero gets some help from Gerardo Reyes, then popular ranchera singer who plays a popular ranchera singer who is also a newspaper reporter who is also a government agent - whew!
