Jerald Intrator (Satan In High Heels) oversaw the 1972 English-language release of Horror y sexo, the racy export version of actor/director Rene The Braniac Cardona's 1969 La horripilante bestia humana, added medical footage of heart surgery, and saddled it with a memorably oddball title. It's a gamier remake of Cardona's 1963 Doctor of Doom with José Elías Moreno (Santa Claus) as a scientist who accidentally transforms his sickly son Julio (Augustín Martínez Solares) into a murderous monster (wrestler Gerardo Zepeda in a blockhead mask). Norma Lazareno (The Vengeance of the Vampire Women) is wrestler Lucy Osorio, though the ring action is watered down from Cardona's original. Intrator paired his result with Emilio Vieyra's 1967 Placer sangrieto, previously released in the U.S. as The Deadly Organ (see May 5 entry).
