It’s summer at the Senate and we’re once again getting Hot, Sweaty & Weird with a series of flicks to satisfy your burning desire for schlock and subculture, camp and cult, and even a wrestling Mexican superhero/detective/folk hero!
El Santo, the legendary luchador turned actor stars in Santo vs. The Zombies. A mystery crime film with a comic book style ala Dick Tracy but with a whole lot more wrestling, this genre mashup (featuring pre-Night of the Living Dead style zombies) is typical of the luchador films from the period. In this early Santo outing, the perpetually masked crusader makes time in between wrestling matches to fight for justice against nefarious foes, both supernatural and otherwise. Where the local authorities have failed, Santo must step in to stop this violent crime wave with a voodoo twist.
Come join us for this FREE OUTDOOR SCREENING in the Senate Coney Lot (next door to the theater on Michigan Ave.) and enjoy this campy piece of Mexican pop culture history.
DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR!
CONCESSIONS STAND AND BATHROOMS WILL BE AVAILABLE INSIDE THE THEATER!
