For the seventh appearance of Count Waldemar Daninsky, Paul Naschy threw out everything that came before and decided on a new origin for El Hombre Lobo. Now, his bloodline was cursed by Countess Bathory, a servant of Satan who one of Daninsky's ancestors had burned at the stake.
Well, there's that, and then there's Daninsky killing a wolf on his grounds that transforms into a man. He's cursed again by a gypsy witch who sends a young girl to seduce him and then bite him with the skull of a wolf while he's sleeping.
I kind of love the alternate title for this, The Black Harvest of Countess Dracula, which really has nothing to do with this story at all. But the real joy of this is one of its taglines: "Damn the Exorcist! The Devil won't let go!"
Insane murderers on the loose, Satanism, beheadings, gore, bad dubbing, Daninsky as a rich nobleman and witchfinder, more gore and, yes, the flesh that you expect when you watch a Naschy movie.
There's nothing like a movie starting with the beheading of a Satanic knight and ending with Bathory being reborn from her grave to engage a werewolf in combat. Pure magic.
