Overview
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?

Viewing Notes
Noting that my disc got “stuck” for about 30 seconds to a minute before correcting itself.
I’ve not watched a ton of Naschy stuff, at least not in recent years. This is a mildly entertaining Spanish euro-horror that pits a sympathetic werewolf against an evil vampire woman in the “French” countryside.
Naschy is great as the werewolf and the practical effects of the creature are really well done.
There are three cuts of the film. I watched the fully restored version with all the nudity (which is pretty mild honestly), which is the full version of the film as originally shot and edited.
