The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman
La noche de Walpurgis
Elvira is travelling through the French countryside with her friend Genevieve, searching for the lost tomb of a medieval murderess and possible vampire, Countess Wandessa. They find a likely site in the castle of Waldemar Daninsky, who invites the women to stay as long as they like. As Waldemar shows Elvira the tomb that supposedly houses the countess, she accidentally causes the vampire to come back to life, hungrier than ever. Daninsky has a hidden secret of his own, but will it be enough to save the two girls from becoming Wandessa's next victims?
Why it matters
A campy, cult-flavored collision of lycanthropy and vampirism that embodies early ’70s Euro-horror’s wild, woolly spirit.
- Paul Naschy’s iconic Waldemar Daninsky anchors the film with his brooding werewolf charisma, a pillar of Spanish horror lore.
- Practical effects and gothic sets lean hard into atmospheric kitsch — think midnight drive-in vibes with moody fog and velvet capes.
- A genre mash-up blending werewolf and vampire mythologies that predates the modern obsession with monster crossovers.
- For fans of Eurotrash horror and cult classics who savor charm and charisma over polish or narrative coherence.
