THE WEREWOLF VERSUS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN (1971) - Episode 275 - Decades of Horror 1970s

The Grue-Crew head to France (actually Spain) to meet up with Waldemar Daninsky and Countess Wandesa to revisit THE WEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN (1971, La Noche de Walpurgis). After decades of watching this classic Spanish wolfman film, seeing the restored 4k version is a revelation. Sure, it's a B-Movie, but it's a fantastic B-Movie. Now it is easy to see why this is Paul Naschy's most successful film, it clearly deserves that honor. If you've never seen THE WEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, seek out a 4K version or a streaming version of it online, stay away from the graining, overly dark copies on many sites. Naschy's love of the Universal Monster Movies is on display with many nods to those classics. Join the Crew for a deep dive discussion about the film. Enjoy!
