David Silva, born in Mexico City in 1917, emerged as a notable actor in the realm of cult cinema. His performance in El Topo (1970) showcases his ability to navigate the surreal landscapes of Alejandro Jodorowsky's vision, while his role in The Mansion of Madness (1973) highlights his talent for embodying complex characters. Silva's contributions to films like Rage (1966) and The Rider of the Skulls (1965) further cement his legacy within the exploitation genre, making him a significant figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
The Rider of the Skulls
A masked Zorro-like character travels the West, battling monsters and protecting the innocent in this 1965 Horror/ Western Cult Classic. The Masked Rider fights an ugly witch, a bat-headed Vampire, a Headless Zombie, living skeletons and one of the hairiest Werewolves ever to appear in a horror movie, all in a style reminiscent of the old Universal Horror Films of the 1940’s.
