Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year they will once again be setting up a fundraiser to benefit Best Friends, which is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Today’s theme: Werewolf

Paul Naschy* played a werewolf in so many movies, including the child film Good Night, Mr. Monster; the monster-filled comedy It Smells Like Death Here (Well, It Wasn’t Me) and the Waldemar Daninsky series of movies: The Mark of the Wolfman, Las Noches del Hombre Lobo, The Fury of the Wolfman, The Fury of the Wolfman, The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman, Dr. Jekyll and the Werewolf, The Return of Walpurgis, Curse of the Beast, Return of the Wolf Man, The Beast and the Magic Sword, Licantropo: the Full Moon Killer and Tomb of the Werewolf. This is his last time playing a lycanthrope.

Directed by Ivan Cardosa, this is about a group of teenagers who go into the jungle with a guide named JP (Evandro Mesquita). None of them know that Dr. Moreau (Naschy) is trying to make animal human hybrids. He already failed with a group of Amazons and yet he’s kept working. Maybe even on himself, as we learn when the moon gets full at night.

Most of the women get nude and as you can imagine, quite a few sleep with Naschy’s character, despite him being 71 when this was made, so he gives me hope. There’s also a musical number when an Incan spirit appears and starts singing. I loved that.
