Tubi Thursday: Night of the Werewolf (aka The Return of the Wolfman) [1981]

 A Werewolf, a Witch and some Vampires walk into a Bar.  
You don't want to be in that Bar!

You also don't want to be around Paul Nashy during...

A group of young Ladies are going to the Carpathian Mountains.

Seems like a harmless (and illogical) Vacation, right?
Well, it would be great (well...not great really) if it weren't for a few things...

For one, some Graverobbers accidentally revive Waldemar Daninsky (Naschy on his NINTH turn as the Character) from his tomb.
For another, the Leader of the Group is a straight-up Evil Witch who kills some people to wake up the other person buried there...
Elizabeth Bathory!

The Ritual works!
Now she's awake and making Vampires....since, why not?

She wants to control Naschy, but he's in love with the one living and non-evil girl in the group.

What's a lady to do?
Will evil triumph?
Will Elizabeth reclaim Waldemar?

Just how many random people will the Werewolf kill?

To find out, stream the Film now!
An enjoyable Film even if it is a bit much.  Seriously, the Plot involves a Witch, Elizabeth Bathory (to be clear, she's not the Witch), her Vampire Ladies and the Werewolf.  You know the expression 'A hat on a hat?'

This is, well, alot of damn hats!

Aside for that, this is a pretty fun Film.  For as overstuffed as it is with creatures/threats, they make for a constantly-interesting experience.  It gets a bit convoluted towards the end, but it is otherwise quite good.

The Plot sure didn't win any Awards, but it was probably a fun Drive-In Film and enjoyable to Foreign Horror Buffs like myself.  Naschy- even dubbed- is a joy to watch.

If you know what to expect here, you can enjoy it.  Speaking of expectations, I did NOT expect to see this when I Googled this Film's Title, but here we are...

A silly, but self-serious Film.  It has everything Horror Buffs want, save for any real surprises.
