Good addition to my VHS collection.

Just watched El Retorno de Walpugis for the first time on a British VHS release from 1983. Another outing for barrel chested Paul Naschy as Waldemar the werewolf. A medieval castle, black magic, sex, nudity, torch bearing villagers, gypsies, day for night scenes, blood and gore, bad dubbing and of course a werewolf, this is an enjoyable but hardly impressive melting pot of 1970's Euro horror.
