Licántropo

Licántropo, also known as Licantropo: The Moonlight Murders or Lycanthrope: The Full Moon Killer, is a 1996 Spanish horror film that is the 11th in the "Hombre Lobo" series about the werewolf Count Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy. Following his near-fatal heart attack in 1991, Naschy wrote the screenplay for this film as a sort of therapy while he was recuperating from his surgery. He filed it away for future use and the script lay dormant until producer Primitivo Rodriguez contacted Naschy in 1996 and asked him if he had any ideas for a new horror movie.

Plot

In 1944 Europe, a gypsy named Czinka is having an affair with a Nazi SS officer named Heinrich, and she learns that she is pregnant. The elders of her tribe tell her she is going to give birth to triplets, and that the third child to be born will be a lycanthrope. The Nazi officer is killed, but Czinka still gives birth to the triplets, and her tribal leader puts the third child (named Waldemar) up for adoption with a well-to-do family named the Daninskys, hoping that his upper class upbringing will balance out his lycanthropic tendencies as he grows older.
