Santo En El Museo De Cera, also known as Santo in the Wax Museum, is a Mexican horror film from 1963 starring Lucha libre wrestling legend Santo, real name Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta. The movie opens with a scene of a robbery at the National Museum, where a group of thieves steal an ancient Aztec artifact. The next day, Santo, a famous wrestler and crime fighter, is at the museum with his girlfriend Alicia (played by Norma Mora) when they discover that a wax figure has been stolen.
Alicia works at the wax museum, which is also a popular tourist attraction. Santo agrees to investigate the theft, and soon discovers that the museum has been infiltrated by a group of criminals. The leader of the gang is Dr. Karol (played by Claudio Brook), a mad scientist who has been using the wax figures to cover up his crimes. He plans to use the stolen Aztec artifact to create a serum that will reanimate the wax figures and turn them into real people, which he can then control.
Santo, with the help of the police, begins to unravel Dr. Karol's plan. He battles a series of wax figures that come to life, including Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the Mummy. Along the way, he meets a number of colorful characters, including a museum curator who is also a wrestling fan, and a group of bumbling thieves who get in Santo's way.
The movie features a number of exciting wrestling sequences, with Santo using his signature moves to defeat the wax figures and the criminals. The film is also notable for its use of location shots, including scenes filmed at the National Museum and the wax museum.
Overall, Santo En El Museo De Cera is a fun, campy horror movie with plenty of action and suspense. The film combines elements of horror, science fiction, and wrestling, making it a unique entry in the Santo filmography. The movie is a must-see for fans of Santo and Mexican horror cinema.
