10. Santo Vs The She Wolves (1976)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_JCm4mNNhA Moving with the times, this Mexican wrestling movie owes a great deal to the Euro horror of Paul Naschy, meaning its more explicit and less kiddie-friendly than its predecessors. Its still astonishingly silly, though where else can you see a masked wrestler taking on werewolves with his fists? Its time for Luba, the Queen of the Werewolves, to be reborn in a younger body, which will begin the downfall of mankind. Only two people can stop her the head of a family of good werewolves and Santo, who because he wears a silver mask must be a guardian angel sent to rid the world of lycanthropes. Obviously. No other explanation is possible. Added gore and nudity aside, this is still good cheesy fun on a B-grade level, and the poor werewolf makeup just adds to the enjoyment. Disengage brain before watching for a good time.
