San Venganza (also misspelled "San Vengeanza") is a town in Texas, U.S.A., once an inhabited centre, now a ghost town. It is a location in the movie Ghost Rider.
In San Venganza, every single inhabitant sold their own soul to Mephistopheles (Mephisto) in exchange of something that led to their death. After all the population died via their exploited greed, Carter Slade, once a honorary Texas Ranger now reborn as a Ghost Rider, was sent to collect the Contract of San Venganza which contains all the damned souls of the townspeople. But feeling its power that so great as it will become Hell on Earth, he refused to give it to Mephisto and chose to hide it.
Decades later, Slade gave the contract to Johnny Blaze, the current Ghost Rider, who arrived in San Venganza and exchanged with Blackheart the contract for Roxanne Simpson's life.
Blackheart, while recently keeping Roxanne Simpson alive and prisoner, was still planning to turn San Venganza into the heart of his own first and new Hell with every city on Earth fallen prey to his twisted dark power strengthened by the Contract of San Venganza in his hand; but only after he had overthrown his father Mephistopheles, who was the ruler of the original dark realm of Hell.
The town of San Venganza became the set of the ultimate battle between the Ghost Rider and Legion.
