About this movie

The Mark of the Wolfman, is a 1968 Spanish horror film, the first in a long series of films about the werewolf Count Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy. The film was also known as Hell's Creatures, The Nights of Satan, The Vampires of Dr. Dracula and Frankenstein's Bloody Terror. Naschy originally suggested actress Barbara Steele for the part of the vampire countess Wandesa, but Aurora De Alba wound up getting the part.
The film was in production from February to March 1968. It was first released theatrically in Spain, in West Germany, in the U.K. in February 1970, and finally in the U.S. in a slightly shortened version as Frankenstein's Bloody Terror in 1971. It was released to late-night television in the U.S. in 1974. The film was shot in Hi-Fi 70mm 3-D, but was only shown that way at a brief engagement in Munich, Germany, and in several select theaters in Hollywood.
The film is available on DVD from Shriek Show as Frankenstein's Bloody Terror, as well as on a German Blu-Ray under the title Die Vampire des Dr. Dracula.
Naschy claimed he followed up this film with a 1968 film Las Noches del Hombre Lobo and his 1969 film Los Monstruos del Terror.
