BLU-RAY DEBUT You’re probably aware of iconic Mexican wrestler Santo, but did you know that his first two films were shot in Cuba? The Silver-Masked Man plays second fiddle in both, and while he would later tangle with vampires, mummies and zombies, there’s only a slender fantastical element to this double-bill. In Santo vs The Evil Brain, he’s mind-controlled by a megalomaniacal scientist. In Santo vs The Infernal Men, the latter are simply petty smugglers.
