FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR!


What better title for a movie that doesn’t have the Frankenstein monster in it? We do have a couple of vampires and a werewolf, though.

In FRANKENSTEIN’S BLOODY TERROR, Spanish horror movie superstar Paul Naschy plays the Wolfman for the umpteenth time. Or so it seems.

Waldemar seeks a cure for his “Wolf-outs”, but makes the mistake of bringing a weird doctor and his wife into the mix. They happen to be vampires. This does NOT make for a good doctor/patient relationship.

One “highlight” (if you can call it that) is the scene where the Doctor type speaks words to Waldemar that brings on the werewolf transformation. Waldemar is writhing as these words are spoken, so it appears to be one of those “stick and stones may break my bones, but words will turn me into a Wolfman” things.

There’s the typical struggle of the “good” werewolf vs. the evil vampires in the climax of the film.

Despite its flaws, this one is hard to dislike. We’ll give this one 5 full moons out of a possible 10.
