The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman 1972 – The Cadaver Lab

Euro Horror Madness: The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman (1971)

Welcome back to The Cadaver Lab, where classic horror gets put on the slab and examined under flickering lights.

This episode dives into the blood-soaked world of 1971’s The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman — one of the most infamous entries in Spanish horror cinema. Starring cult legend Paul Naschy as the doomed wolfman Waldemar Daninsky, this film throws classic monster mythology into a feverish Euro-horror blender, mixing gothic atmosphere, surreal storytelling, and grindhouse excess. We’ll explore how the film fits into Naschy’s long-running Wolfman saga, why it became a fan favorite, and how it reflects the wild, anything-goes era of early ’70s European horror.

Along the way, we’ll also break down Paul Naschy’s legacy — from his obsession with Universal monsters to his role in putting Spanish horror on the international cult map. Love it or loathe it, this is monster cinema at its strangest and most fascinating.

If you’re into classic horror, Euro horror, werewolves, vampires, and cult cinema, you’re in the right lab.
