Night of the Werewolf (1980)
We start this one with the trial of Elizabeth Bathory. She is condemned to be buried alive. Her servants are burned at the stake and her main servant Waldemar Daninsky (Naschy) is condemned as a werewolf. A mask of shame is placed on him, and a silver cross is hammered into his heart.
Fast forward to the modern day and three college girls are working on their thesis on the occult and Bathory in particular. They are planning a trip to the Carpathian mountains to visit Bathory's tomb. One of the girls, Erika, though wants to go a step further and bring Bathory back to life. While this happening two grave robbers beat them to it and ending freeing Daninsky by pulling the silver cross out of his heart. The moon is full and he kills them both in werewolf form.
The girls get to the Carpathian but are attacked by a group of men. From the woods, someone shoots the men with a crossbow and kills them. The girls find Bathory's tome and Erika hear the Countess' voice convincing her to kill the others and drain their blood for her. They discover a woman with her face half-burned.
Next thing we know the girls are now the guests of Waldemar Daninsky in his castle. The woman with the burned face is his servant.
Erika starts killing people and brings Bathory back to life. Daninsky turns into a werewolf and kills people. Everyone is dying.
Daninsky learns that Bathory is alive and he decides she must die. They fight, Vampire and Werewolf (ha take that White Wolf and Sony!). Bathory is killed by Daninsky, but then he tries to kill his lover while in werewolf form, but she kills him with the silver knife.
Well, it's not great, but still fun.
