The Fury of the Wolfman

College professor Waldemar Daninsky travels to Tibet on an expedition and is bitten by a yeti, which causes him to become a werewolf. Upon his arrival home, he discovers his wife has taken a lover in his absence. After transforming into a werewolf, he murders the two of them, but he is accidentally electrocuted while trying to escape the murder scene. He is later revived to life by a female scientist, Dr. Ilona Ellmann, who uses her mind control experiments to control him. Daninsky later discovers her underground asylum populated by the bizarre subjects of her failed experiments. The crazed lady scientist chains Waldemar to a wall in her lab and beats him mercilessly with a whip. Then she revives Waldemar's murdered ex-wife, who also becomes a werewolf (because she was fatally bitten by Daninsky), and forces the two werewolves to fight. Waldemar kills his wife for the second time, then kills Dr. Ellman throwing from a staircase, but is in her deaththoe shot to death by the doctor, a woman who loves him enough to end his torment. ==Cast==

The plot of this film differed from the earlier entries in the Hombre Lobo series in that 1) Daninsky is a college professor in this film, 2) his lycanthropy is caused by a Yeti's bite, and 3) Daninsky is married in this film. Naschy's friend Enrique Lopez Eguiluz started out to direct this film, but only managed to film Naschy's nightmare dream sequence at the beginning of the film. He left the project early and was replaced by Jose Maria Zabalza, whom Naschy said was an alcoholic and a very uncouth person. Due to the laziness of director Zabalza, this film wound up including a lot of stock footage from La Marca del Hombre Lobo (1968) to pad out its running time and a few carelessly mismatched werewolf scenes played by an anonoymous stunt double he hired without informing Naschy. ==Release==

Although the film was made in 1970, it was only released theatrically (edited) in Spain and Argentina in 1975; it was sold directly to TV in the U.S. in 1974 (in somewhat edited form). The film is today readily available on DVD. Most versions of the film are censored. The only unedited version of the film is the one titled Wolfman Never Sleeps (which was the Swedish print). ==Reception==

One review states, "Add to the total fiasco of the script & the confusion caused by bad translation, worse dub, and a multitude of edits of two versions (one version having a lot of nudity), and it's surprising that any sense can be made of it at all." ==References==
