In the second film of this series - originally as 12-part movie serial - the professor finds that he must admit that the undead walk the Earth. He joins with a vampire hunter to stop Nostradamus, who is the son of one of the most powerful bloodsuckers of all time.

Spanish-born actor German Robles debuted on screen wearing the fangs of Count Lavud in "El Vampiro" and "El Ataud del Vampiro" in 1957, clean shaven and wearing a Lugosi tuxedo, going on to do a series of 1959 features as the son of the legendary French prophet and astrologer Nostradamus who died in 1566, here depicted as an alchemist and practitioner of the undead. How the family branched off into Mexico for "The Curse of Nostradamus" ("La Maldicion de Nostradamus") is never explained, setting up the entire series by having this descendant prove his supernatural powers to a professional skeptic who refuses to reveal the truth to his association of non believers.

THE MONSTER'S DEMOLISHER is one of a four-part film series of Mexican horror flicks about a descendant of Nostradamus, not only given to prognostication but a member of the undead to boot. This one is the second instalment and if it seems rather choppy that's because it was taken from a 12 part serial, chopped down and then redubbed for US television by the hard-working K.

A resurrected vampire taunts a vampire hunter with premonitions of his future deeds daring him to both stop his actions as well as rescue several children held in his possession.Not all that bad of an entry, but seeing as how this belongs into a series of films of which this is the second entry makes the story a little weird to follow, as it both starts off in the middle of an action scene and ends with a cliffhanger to set up the next one, so it's a bit confusing to make sense of it all what with his motivations being somewhat clouded and the film centering more on everyone talking about trying to stop him rather than springing to action so it's a bit of a lag in the middle segments.
