Paul Naschy as Waldemar Daninsky
The Werewolf And The Yeti (1975)
(opens in new tab)
Spanish horror star Paul Naschy, who died in 2009 aged 75, made a career out of playing tortured werewolves in a series of ropey European horror movies. They include The Night Of The Werewolf (1981), The Werewolf Versus The Vampire Women (1971), Dracula Versus Frankenstein (1970) and this effort from 1975, which found itself on the infamous video nasties list in the mid ’80s. What’s funny about this one is that the werewolf and the yeti, who only briefly clash at the film’s climax, look almost identical! Shouldn’t the yeti be white?
Earlier in the film, Naschy, an explorer in the Tibetan mountains, stumbles upon a cave and on entering it finds two alluring vampiric women, whom he has sex with – that’s both of them, at the same time, the dirty dog. This seems to turn him into a werewolf, although maybe that’s understandable. He then goes on the rampage, including battling the aforementioned abominable snowman. Unintentional laughs abound, but it’s mostly pretty dull stuff.
