Wiki.
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.
This was Naschy's last Waldemar Daninsky film to be theatrically released and filmed in Spain. The film was made as an intended comeback for Naschy, but it was carelessly directed, poorly distributed and received generally bad reviews. Romana Gonzalez handled the werewolf makeup effects. The film was only released in Spain in April 1997 and not in any other country outside of Spain. It was however shown at the Madrid International Film Festival in 1997, where Naschy was given a Best Actor award.
This film was followed by the 12th, and final, film in the Hombre Lobo series, a 2004 direct-to-video film entitled Tomb of the Werewolf (which Naschy filmed in Hollywood).
