This unique animation is like nothing you’ve seen before and will have you laughing out loud with one shameless sexual shenanigan after another!
El Superbeasto (Tom Papa), is a washed up former world class masked wrestler who uses his fame to unashamedly get laid, get loaded, star in tasteless porn and occasionally fight crime using his superhuman strength.
Keeping it in the family – Superbeasto’s sister and partner in crime the scantily clad Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie) is a gorgeous, ass-kicking, blonde bombshell who combats evil in tight fitting PVC. Suzi regularly peels it off to reveal her voluptuous figure much to the joy of Marvin her Robotic side kick, who gets his daily kicks out of Suzi riding on him as he transforms into her getaway bike!
Enter the deluded lead villain Dr Satan (Paul Giamatti), who believes he is the most evil and merciless mastermind in Monsterland. A wicked but weak lothario with manic depression, his sole goal is to find the perfect wife as he will then gain the true strength of Satan! Having killed his past twenty-three wives he feels his luck will be in with number twenty four!
Dr Satan settles his marriage search on the most outrageous, foul mouthed and money-grabbing stripper in town – the tantalizing and straight – talking Velvet Von Black (Rosario Dawson). Whisked away after her strip show by Dr Satan’s smart ape, Henchman, Superbeasto and Suzi X are in close pursuit to stop the unholy union! Will Superbeasto be able to stop Dr Satan transforming into a super Satan and destroying the world?!
The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto is jam-packed with monsters, villains, comical outbursts of song and boobs a plenty guaranteed to make you shriek, sing along and laugh hysterically from the opening chorus to the triumphant end!
