- TriviaThe original 1969 release of "Santo en El tesoro de Drácula" was black-and-white and featured no nudity. The film was simultaneously shot in colour featuring full frontal nudity for European markets and finally released in Mexico in 2012 as "El vampiro y el sexo".
- GoofsThe word "ALUCÁRD" is printed backward and held up to a mirror. Not all of the letters are oriented correctly. It reflects as "DRÁCULA". A real reflection would reflect the appearance of the individual letters.

Featured review
Gothic science-fiction wrestling fun
The following review is an extract from the book "Santo, the Wrestler with the Silver Mask: A guide to all his films", which is now available on Amazon.
"This is one of the best known films of Santo, especially because there are two versions: The original in black and white, a routine gothic horror production marketed under the title "The Treasure of Dracula", and one in color with some spicy nude scenes that bring it closer to the softcore genre - a version that was believed lost for many years, to the point that several of the Saint's followers and Mexican wrestling films came to consider its existence just an urban legend.
We have several elements along the footage that enrich the plot: On the one hand, science fiction (The Saint shows us here his scientific side, with the creation of a time machine "to better investigate past civilizations"), the more traditional Gothic horror (with the prototypical story of vampires taken from the Stokerian novel), the gangster cinema (with the "Black Hooded" and his henchmen, who try to take advantage of our hero's invention), wrestling (the fight Santo must have in the ring against the son of the Black Hooded man) and in the most explicit version, we also find sensual busty vampires who show their flesh with lust and profusion. All these sub-genres, seasoned with comedy (some of this comedy is involuntary and some not) are brought together in the film - resulting in a highly entertaining filmic experience."
