Blue Demon and Zovek in the Invasion of the Dead (Spanish: Blue Demon y Zovek en la invasión de los muertos: sometimes called simply La Invasión de Los Muertos)[1] is a 1973 Mexican horror film directed by René Cardona, starring Blue Demon (Alejandro Muñoz Moreno) and Professor Zovek (Francisco Xavier Chapa del Bosque).[2]
Zovek died during production, and wrestler Blue Demon was brought in to bring the film up to feature length.[3] [4]
Professor Bruno Volpi discovers some strange markings on a cliff. Professor Zovek deciphers them to warn of impending catastrophe. Wrestler Blue Demon and Zovek battle zombies.[5]
A sharp contrast has been noted between the Zovek and the Blue Demon sections, the first deemed of fairly good quality and the latter very much less so.[6]
