Since we just had a full moon and the remake of Wolfman is coming out soon, I thought I would break out some old movies for your enjoyment.
Werewolf vs Vampire Woman aka ‘La noche de Walpurgis’ is a film directed by León Klimovsky and stars Paul Naschy. Paul Naschy has been refereed to as the true king of Spanish horror cinema.
It shouldn’t be a huge surprise that the Werewolf vs Vampire Woman has received some bad reviews.
I personally think the bad reviews are sparked because fans expect too much from Naschy and considering the time this film was made it is not all that bad – sure I can list about a hundred other films that are better, but why?
Some critics even say that the trailer is way better than the film – but I let you decide.
First, the trailer…
Werewolf vs Vampire Woman
Elvira is traveling 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?
Now the film…
Let me know what you think – Is the trailer better than the film?
I want to take you on a trip. A trip back in history to a simple time and (re) introduce you to a film that holds the title as the second horror movie ever made, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) directed by Robert Wiene. To learn more about this film we need to take a trip to Germany when German Expressionist films were reaching their peak in Berlin in the 1920s.
It is often believed that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was the first ever horror film, but the first horror film goes to a French horror film called The Devil’s Castle (Le Manoir Du Diable) made in 1896. No matter what you believe to be the first horror film there is no doubt that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a film that everyone should see and learn about its history.
The history of German Expressionist films is very fascinating about what directors did to produce such films on little to no budget by using set designs with wildly non-realistic, geometrically absurd sets, along with designs painted on walls and floors to represent lights, shadows, and objects. When you watch The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari pay attention to the lighting and you will notice that most of the effects you see are not lights at all but just painted floors. This type of artistic creation later went on to inspire the style and mood of the Universal monster movies of the 1930s.
