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.
