Casa de EvilThe Casa de Evil is a health spa for comic style bad guys. This clip is a spoof for a television commercial. The decaying film stock, self consciously low budget costumes, and faux Spanish phrases like ‘super villanos’ provide the comedic flavour.

The advertisement promises that super villains can get into shape while on vacation and use the ‘mucho equipmente’ at the site.
