- Quotes
Inspector Marcel: How are your studies going to finish the thesis? You must be close to it, right?
Elvira: The subject is very broad. It is not that simple. I must work hard.
Inspector Marcel: If I remember correctly, it was about research on black magic, witchcraft, the diversity of Satan cults and the Inquisition in France. That was it, wasn't it?
Elvira: More or less. Lately, Genevieve and I discovered something about Wandesa Darvula de Nadasdy, a Hungarian countess who lived in the 15th century. She is shrouded in legend... a horrible legend...
- Alternate versionsThe Anchor Bay DVD entitled "Werewolf Shadow" incorporates previously missing footage that only appeared in Spanish prints of the film. The material is mostly centered on Elvira's boyfriend and his attempts to locate her once she has gone missing. One scene shows him receiving a letter from Elvira, and another long sequence involves a conversation he has with the mayor of the local burg that Wandessa has been terrorizing.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Wolfman Chronicles: A Cinematic Scrapbook (1991)
Known as Werewolf Shadow or Shadow of the Werewolf, as well as the original title, La noche de Walpurgis. It is a Gothic horror. Very slow moving with plenty of creepy music.
Those used to copious amounts of nudity and gore in the series will be disappointed with this entry.
The final battle between the wolfman (Naschy) and the vampire woman, Countess Wandesa Dárvula de Nadasdy (Patty Shepard) was quick and anti- climatic, but they are both gone for good.
