[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]. [[El Santo]] and his [[Masked Luchador]] pal Blue Demon do, indeed, fight against [[Dracula]], a [[Werewolf]] named Rufus Rex, and their legions of vampire and werewolf followers in this 1972 Mexican film.

El Santo gets drawn into the action by his girlfriend Lina Cristaldi. The Cristaldis (Lina, the Professor, his daughter Laura, and ''her'' young daughter, Rosita) turn out to be the last descendants of a wizard who killed Dracula and the Wolf Man 400 years ago. Revived in modern Mexico (by a hunchback, no less!), the two monsters plot their revenge, planning to kill, seduce, and/or convert the last Cristaldis.

* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: The monsters maintain a pit with wooden stakes at the bottom, apparently for the sole purpose of entertaining themselves by making captives try to cross it on a narrow plank, as werewolves shake it back and forth. They force a captive Blue Demon to do this. Ultimately, this proves to be an extremely poor interior design decision.

* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: A particularly bad example. At the end of the film, the luchador heroes and Santo's girlfriend Lina discuss what to tell Rosita about her horrifying ordeal when she wakes up in the morning. They decide to tell her it was just a bad dream. Which, yeah, that'll work... at least until she wonders where her mother is, and they have to tell her that she had been transformed into one of the living dead, and (the film implies but does not directly state) sent to her eternal rest after the destruction of the two eponymous monsters.
