Favorite Female Vampires (VIII): Lorena Velazquez
October 23, 2008 8:09 pm UncategorizedIn all his mind-blowing body of film credits, the legendary Santo could still say today (if he was still kicking butt amongst us) that Santo vs. The Vampire Women is the most well-known. This is the one of his movie which was dubbed in the most different languages, even sometimes giving him the name “Samson” in some markets. It’s still a fun watch on any giving night when you feel in high spirits.
Actress Lorena Velazaquez is a big part of the enjoyment, with big hair, big makeup and a big bust. Born on December 15, 1937, she has played in more than 100 films during her career, and still pops up on television. She’s considered a top sex symbol of the ‘50s and ‘60s of Mexican cinema. Here, she relishes being the Queen of the Vampires, lording it over some male wrestlers of the bloodsucking kind (and of course some hot girls). Even considering the camp factor, this actually remains quite enjoyable in its directing choices.
For some obscure reason, I can’t find any worthwhile picture from the movie, so here’s a Lorena V. publicity still:
