WTD:"Blood Circus"/"Santo Gold"

[scott phillips]

I know this is a big time long shot, but I'm on a hot streak lately in
terms of finding stuff,so...
I'm looking for an obscure infomercial from the mid-80's for a product
called "Santo Gold". There was also a character (the owner?) with the
same name. There was also a "Santo Gold" movie called "Blood Circus"
that was advertised in the infomercial. The movie also featured "pro"
wrestlers. Help!

[KING B MAN]

I remember that predecessor(sp) to the infomercial!
Wasnt' the person supposed to be singing, and the Gods (or whatever) were
criticizing the singing?
If you ever get ahold of the program let me know.

BLOOD CIRCUS was a phony wrestling movie shot by John Corso and some
other DP over the course of (I think) 4 days. It was in editing
forever. Then "Mr. Santo Gold" was indicted for Postal Mail Fraud(or
something like that)-the article is somewhere in my files(lost). The
Movie disappeared. A couple years later I was working at a NYC
Lab(Precision)-right before they went out of business and accidentily
walked in as the Lab was transfering it to tape because as I was
told---they were going to try to sell it to recover money owed. The
20 minutes I saw was unwatchable. In the middle of wrestling
bouts(lame and buckets of fake bloood)the film would cut away to title
cards and a narrator would ramble away about some metaphysical and
morat technibabble. Made no sense. I left. The film disappeared.
The tape disappeared. The Lab went out of business.

Don't wait for it.

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised anyone else has heard of or
remembered this thing. I do vaguely remember the "Gods" part...Maybe
someday I can score a copy of this...
