The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman
Director: León Klimovsky
Actors: Paul Naschy, Gaby Fuchs, Barbara Capell
PlotIn the gloomy landscape of the European countryside, a revival from the grave sets the stage for a terrifying encounter. Waldemar Daninsky, the cursed protagonist with a lycanthropic affliction, finds himself inadvertently resurrected by two unsuspicious medical students, Elvira and Genevieve, who are researching the legend of a notorious vampiress, Countess Wandesa Dárvula de Nadasdy. Waldemar, struggling with his own dark secret, warns the eager pair about the dangers that lurk in the region, especially as they become increasingly obsessed with unraveling the mystery of the Countess’s final resting place.
The trio’s digging into the past unearths more than they bargained for, awakening a dark and malevolent force. Elvira and Genevieve’s academic curiosity leads them to Wandesa’s grave, where an ancient ritual and spilt blood inadvertently resurrect the vampiress from her crypt, setting her free to roam the world once more. As the full moon ascends, Waldemar’s curse takes hold, and he transforms into the werewolf. The stage is set for a clash of mythical proportions, pitting the primal fury of the werewolf against the calculated malevolence of the vampire. As both creatures of the night revel in their newfound freedom, their paths are destined to collide, with the fate of the two women and the innocent inhabitants of the neighbouring areas hanging in the balance.
