Capulina vs. the Monsters
Capulina contra los monstruos
A very fun film dealing with the overweight comedian Capulina in yet another one of his many similar type of films. This particular film deals with Capulina trying to escape from Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and Frankenstein's Monster. A mad scientist is trying to conquer the world using the legendary monsters, but he will need the fear of the people to give them strength, and only one person is capable of giving him enough power: Capulina.
Why it matters
A campy, creature-feature comedy that mashes classic monsters with slapstick charm and unexpected heart.
- One of the rare Mexican horror-comedy hybrids spotlighting beloved comedian Gaspar Henaine’s trademark goofy resilience.
- Features iconic Universal-style monsters doing the heavy lifting of scares while Capulina’s bumbling humor lightens the mood.
- A quirky glimpse at 1970s genre blending outside the usual American or European circuits—regional horror fandom gold.
- Not a polished frightfest, but a delightful oddity for fans who appreciate monster mashups and vintage practical effects with a wink.
