El Retorno del Hombre Lobo -- 8.5/10; I'm finally delving into Paul Naschy's filmography and kicking myself for putting it off. Here we see the wolfman battling vampires, a mummy, and the Countess Bathory.,with the order of the day being extensive histrionics that give the action scenes a haunted-attraction vibe. None of it comes off particularly schlocky, though, as the sets are well crafted and the scenes are shot in a painterly fashion. This will become a staple in my Halloween playlist.
