MASKED MEXICAN WRESTLERS TO PIN AUDIENCES TO SEATS LIVE AND ONSCREEN AT CHANDLER CINEMA NOCHE DE LUCHADORES!

!Aye Chihuahua! Who needs 3D when you’ve got masked Mexican wrestlers flying off the screen and into the lobby?

This time the Midnite Movie Mamacita, Valley B-movie maniac, really goes out of her cabeza by hosting the Saturday December 1 Noche de Luchadores (Night of the Mexican Masked Wrestlers), a mixed-media madhouse involving South of the Border ring barbarians both on and off the screen. The action kicks off at the Chandler Cinemas at 8 pm, with in an hour-long in-lobby wrestling card featuring masked marauders from XJAM, the outrageous indie wrestling troupe whose you-gotta-see-to-it-to-disbelieve-it exhibition will be highlighted by a no-holds-barred masked all-female bout. . .with a squadron of roller derby dolls as referees!

At 9 pm, the action moves onto the big-screen with a rare 35 mm screening of 1973’s Santo Vs the Voodoo Women, starring the legendary Santo (”the Mexican Hulk Hogan”), this time squaring off against (among other things) a voodoo queen, wrestling zombies, bad Seventies, fashion, nuclear annihilation and, alas, a dubbed French soundtrack. Fortunately, the soundtrack will be turned off during the screening, allowing local improv comedy troupes Phoenix Neutrino Project and Galapagos to ad lib dialog and sound effects a la Mystery Science Theater 3000.

But hang on to your guacamole–there’s more! Assuming the Midnite Movie Mamacita hasn’t yet beaten you to submission, the show ends with a post-screening performance by Valley garage/surf rockers The Rebel Set.
