El Castillo del Terror is a professional wrestling event produced and scripted annually by the lucha Libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). The event was established in 2000 and is held in November each year in Arena Naucalpan, IWRG's main arena in Naucalpan, State of Mexico. The annual show features the eponymous main event match; a multi-man Steel Cage Match where the last man in the cage is forced to unmask under Luchas de Apuestas, or "Bet rules". In rival Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) the match is referred to as Infierno en el Ring, but is the same concept. The 2015 event marked the fifteenth time that IWRG has held a Castillo del Terror event and the fourth time that Golden Magic has won the mask of an opponent by being the last man to escape the cage; unmasking King Drako, Alan Extreme, Kenshin Kabuki and El Golpelador.[1][2][3][4]

Wrestlers from IWRG, CMLL, Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA) and the Mexican Independent circuit have all participated in a Castillo del Terror match. IWRG holds several multi-man steel cage Luchas de Apuesta matches throughout the year, but only refer to the November show match as the Castillo del Terror.
