Since vampires and zombies have been completely played out by the mainstream, it’s time to focus on a new monster. How about the werewolf? Filmmaker Eric Yoder is doing just that with his new film, WALPURGIS NIGHT. Paying tribute to Paul Naschy–who played the werewolf 12 times between 1920 and 2000–the film reprises the character of Waldemar Daninsky; a man desperately in search of a cure for his lycanthropy. Horror purists will be pleased to know that only practical effects will be employed throughout.
