      This screenplay is for Amanda, Beth, Callie and Mom. You are the ladies in my life that mean more to me then all the treasures of the world.

      Special thanks to the following people:

      Rich Tucholka, for allowing me to throw in Bureau 13.

      Nick Pollota, for helping me discover the joy of writing.

      Jim Butcher, for showing me that magic is possible.

      Scott Kurtz, for making me smile and a helpful push.

      El Santo, for showing me the world according to Lucha.

      Derrick Fish for the wonderful cover illustrations.

      All the comic artists who contributed to this wonderful idea.

      La Flower, for letting me talk to El Hijo Del Santo.

      Lloyd Kaufman, that told me more breasts, more blood, smaller budget.

      A quick note about this edition:

      In 2006 I finished the following screenplay, my first. I submitted it and got generally high marks at various screenwriting contests but every one stated it would never work as a film. I tried retooling it for a comic book, but it just didn’t work. I’ve since re-written it and have it to a nice filmable script that may actually see the light of day. For those of us who dream big, however, I present you the untold real story of Rey Supremo.

      BEGIN DREAM SEQUENCE

      EXT. ALLEY -- NIGHT

      CARLOTTA runs through the alley being chased by some unseen assailant. Carlotta is a young lady but a striking beauty. She is currently scared to death. She runs to the end of the alley and realizes she is trapped, boxed in on all sides.

      CARLOTTA

      No! Get away! I don’t have any money!

      A MASKED THUG stalks toward her as Carlotta tries to press herself back against the wall.

      At the front of the alley RAY pulls up in a shiny convertible. This is Ray as he dreams himself to be. He wears a shiny suit and his ever present Luchadore mask. He is athletic but stocky and built for action. He has an irreverent wit and a masterful skill at sarcasm.

      RAY

      Hey! Tall dark and gruesome, that’s no way to treat a lady!

      Ray leaps from the car and grabs the masked thug. He wrestles him to the ground. They quickly regain their feet and begin to circle each other in a classic wrestling stand-off. Ray pounces on the thug and pins him to he ground. He pulls the mask off the thug to reveal that he is really a were-wolf. This were-wolf is very 60’s B-movie level. He has a hairy face and hairy clawed hands.

      Ray is shocked to see this but it quickly turns into a smile. Ray quickly wrenches a pipe loose from the wall of the alley and swings it at the were-wolf. He circles around to Carlotta and catches the flash of silver from her necklace.

      RAY (CONT’D)

      Pardon me, fair lady. I find myself in need of your necklace.

      CARLOTTA

      If you think it will help.

      Carlotta slips off her necklace and quickly tosses it to Ray. He ties it around the end of the pipe and slams it against the were-wolf knocking him back to a wall of the alley. Then Ray plunges the silver tipped pipe into the were-wolf’s chest.

      Ray walks over to the fallen body of the were-wolf who is slowly turning human again. He crouches over the body.

      RAY

      Sleep well, valiant foe. Your soul is now at peace.

      After closing the eyes of the fallen were-wolf, he stands and walks over to Carlotta. He hands her back her necklace after cleaning it in a handkerchief. She smiles, then swoons into his arms.

      CARLOTTA

      How can I ever repay you?

      RAY

      I was only doing my duty as a luchadore. Protecting innocents and rescuing damsels in distress.

      CARLOTTA

      I think I know a way.

      Carlotta stands and kisses Ray through his mask. She starts to pull his mask up. Ray stops her.

      RAY

      No. I must never remove my mask in public. I would lose my honor and my power as a luchadore.

      CARLOTTA

      Is there anything else I can remove then?

      Carlotta pulls him close and kisses him again. She kisses down his neck. She pulls back from his embrace and her eyes widen. Her mouth opens to reveal huge fangs. Ray struggles to pull away, but she is too strong. Her fangs plunge into his neck.

      END DREAM SEQUENCE

      INT. RAY’S APARTMENT -- MORNING

      Ray’s Apartment is a typical efficiency. It is one large room with a couch that is currently folded out into a bed taking up a large portion of the room. There is a small kitchen area with a microwave, fridge, stove and sink. There is a small TV with a collection of Luchadore movies next to it. On the wall behind the fold out couch is a poster of an El Santo movie. There is a small workout bench in one corner of the room. Ray is wearing a T-shirt and boxers and his ever-present mask. Ray sits bolt upright in bed. He is visibly shaken by his dream.

      RAY

      That’s it. I am never having chilidogs before bed again.

      Ray staggers out of bed and heads to the bathroom, as he begins his day.

      INT. RAY’S BATHROOM -- MORNING

      The shower is running and we see Ray’s mask hanging on the towel hook. He reaches for a towel, but we can’t see his face due to the mirror being clouded with steam. He dries his hair with the towel and puts on his mask. Then he wipes off the mirror. We never see his unmasked face.

      EXT. CITY STREET -- DAY

      Ray steps out of his apartment building. It is a small building, and not in the best part of town. The street is cluttered and has the occasional rundown car parked along it. Ray looks up at the sun, then puts his hands in his pockets and heads out. He is wearing another T-shirt and jeans.

      EXT. BAR -- DAY

      Ray walks into a bar that has a sign out front that says NOW HIRING BOUNCERS.

      BAR MANAGER (O.S.)

      Did Justin put you up to this? Is this some kind of joke? You don’t even have a driver’s license?

      Ray walks back out of the bar. Head down.

      EXT. RESTAURANT -- DAY

      Ray heads into a restaurant which has a sign that says, NOW HIRING DISH

      RESTAURANT MANAGER (O.S.)

      What’s with the mask? Were you burned by acid or something? You’re not some illegal alien or anything?

      Ray heads out of the restaurant and has the same slump as before.

      EXT. CONVENIENCE STORE -- DAY

      Ray walks into a convenience store that has a sign that says NOW HIRING, NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! He figures they might just be desperate enough to hire him.

      There is the sound of a shotgun blast. Ray quickly runs out of the store. A CONVENIENCE STORE MANAGER is standing in the doorway with a shotgun, as Ray runs out of shot.

      EXT. RECREATION CENTER PLAYGROUND -- DAY

      Ray is teaching a group of KIDS (Aged 8-11) some basic wrestling. He seems truly happy here and the kids are enjoying themselves. He is currently showing them some basic moves. SALLY the recreation center manager motions for Ray to come over to her. Ray hands his coaches whistle to a younger assistant and heads over to Sally.

      SALLY

      Ray, you’ve done wonders with those kids.

      RAY

      I’m not so sure. They were pretty rough and tumble before I got a hold of them. I’m just teaching them some basic wrestling moves to help them learn some self defense.

      SALLY

      They are much better off now, than they have been in years. Those kids didn’t have much of anything. We were just some place that they had less chance of getting into drugs. Their parents want the best for them. They just can’t afford much.

      RAY

      Well, I’m
