'Werewolf Shadow' (1971) – Leon Klimovsky.

Having two horror icons in one film is no sure fire guarantee of a winner, but in the case of the sin-sationally spooktackular 1971 Gothic horror masterpiece 'Werewolf Shadow' it proved to be a howling success! Slo-mo stylist, Leon Klimovsky and his heroically husky star, Paul Naschy combined their not inconsiderable fear-making prowess to produce an audacious, visually sumptuous, sapphically scintillating 70s shocker! Lurid lycanthrope, Waldemar Daninsky (Paul Naschy) and sensuously bloodsucking sorceress, Countess Wandesa Dárvula de Nadasdy (Paty Shephard) reopen old festering wounds, heading inexorably to a fateful, fur-flinging confrontation on Walpurgis nacht! The unholiest of nights wherein Satan holds dominion upon the earth, mouldering graves disgorge the vengeful dead to wreak the devil's own madness!

No comprehensive overview of, Leon Klimovsky's monstrously entertaining vulpine Vamp Vs melancholic Wolf beatdown would be replete without earnestly praising the perfectly perky euro-starlets, Gaby Fuchs and Barbara Capell! These blissfully beauteous B-Movie bombshells find themselves anxiously ensconced within the eerily isolated, storm-lashed, strikingly primitive domicile of the altogether tragic shapeshifter Waldemar Daninsky. The guests initially unaware of Daninsky's lunatic, doom-auguring sister, Elisabeth Daninsky (Yelena Samarina) and the catacomb creeping, carotid draining countess de Nasdy! 'Werewolf Shadow' guarantees all Lycanthrope-loving viewers are in for the Walpurgis Night of their horror-loving lives!
