Trivia
This film was originally released in the U.S. in a 2-D version. That version of it was pulled during its theatrical run (despite the fact that it was doing good business) and replaced by a 3-D version that failed at the box office.

Goofs
Rudolph looks into the mirror and sees no reflection of the vampiress Wandessa; however, as she pulls him toward her to embrace him, you can see both of her hands in the mirror.

Crazy credits
Most English-language prints of this film open with hyped-up credits, a voiceover boasting that it is "filmed in 70mm and 3-D" (even in the fuzzy 8mm prints that were used for TV releases) and an animated cartoon drawing-style prologue that claims it is a Frankenstein film instead of a werewolf film (which it actually is).

Alternate versions
The U.S. version of this film, titled "Frankenstein's Bloody Terror", had the first 10 minutes of it cut and an animated cartoon drawing-style prologue added to it that linked Imre Wolfstein to the Frankenstein family in order to satisfy Samuel M. Sherman's need for a Frankenstein film to release to distributors at the time (1971). It was eventually released to U.S. theaters as the bottom half of a double feature with the film Dracula contre Frankenstein (1971).

Over the top and fun!

When I was in high school (the late 1970s) a local TV station showed this on Saturday afternoons constantly with "Dracula vs. Frankenstein". As a teenager I LOVED this! My memories on the plot are kind of vague, but it went something like this: A man is cursed with becoming a werewolf. He has already killed a few people. He hears of a count who can (perhaps) cure him. The count and his wife come--but they're both VAMPIRES!!!

BTW--Frankenstein has nothing to do with this movie. The American distributor had promised theatre owners a film with the names "Frankenstein" and "Terror" in the title. Then they got this werewolf-vampire one. So the American version has a silly prologue linking the Frankenstein family to the werewolf!!!

Sounds ridiculous but it's played so serious it actually is a lot of fun to watch. The effects (for the 1970s) were good and, surprisingly, this got a PG rating despite some pretty gory parts. Also this played uncut on TV. The acting was actually pretty good and I distinctly remember being terrified by the vampires.

I heard the original Spanish one runs 10 minutes longer and was in 3-D and stereo sound! We'll never see that here probably and this version seems to have disappeared completely. Too bad. It was a fun, silly horror film. I give it an 8. Maybe Anchor Bay will find a version of this to release soon.
