SYNOPSIS: El Retorno de Walpurgis (The Return of Walpurgis, also known as Curse of the Devil) is a 1973 Mexican-Spanish co-production horror film that is the seventh in a twelve-film series about the werewolf Count Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy. This film ignored the events in all of the earlier Wolf Man films and began an entirely new origin for el Hombre Lobo, which is strange because the film's Spanish title The Return of Walpurgis seems to tie it in with Naschy's earlier 1970 film Walpurgis Night. The Wolf Man makeup was done by Fernando Florido. The film was shot in June 1973, and by September, it was already in theaters in Spain, as El Retorno de Walpurgis. It wasn't released theatrically in the U.S. however until 1976, as Curse of the Devil. It was shown in Germany originally on August 7, 1974 as Night of the Diabolical Orgy, then was re-released on October 7, 1974 as Die Todeskralle des Grausamen Wolfes / Death Claws of the Cruel Wolves. Mexico released it as Night of the Killer, France as L'Empreinte de Dracula / The Mark of Dracula , and Belgium as Return of the Loup Garous. This was the last film that Naschy worked on with director Carlos Aured. As soon as the film was completed, Aured became very cold toward Naschy and never again asked him to work with him. Naschy said in his autobiography that he never understood why Aured acted that way toward him, but he surmised that perhaps Aured thought Naschy was becoming too controlling on their collaborations, since Naschy was not only starring in the films, he was also involved in writing and casting them. (They reconciled their differences in 2007, but by then Aured was just months away from dying.). This film was followed by Naschy's eighth Hombre Lobo film La Maldicion de la Bestia (1975). EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE ONLY ON eBay ATTENTION! BEFORE YOU HIT THE "BUY IT NOW" LINK . . . READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY! The same 1973 Belgian 14" x 22" Theatrical Poster starring Paul Naschy with rips, pinholes, stains, minor tears or even small pieces missing easily fetches substantially more than our low "BUY IT NOW" price! Additionally, this rare Belgian poster was never meant to be collected; rather thrown away once the "movie run" ended! So the studios printed them on cheaper paper. They were (recycled) used over & over again and displayed in the various theatres, so over time, many acquired large tears & creases, numerous rips and multiple pin holes on all the 4 corners from constant use. In light of that fact, it's now impossible to find these Belgian posters in such excellent condition anymore! Not to mention the fact that in 2020, it's very hard to find them at all. So, bid with 100% confidence! So go ahead . . . take advantage of this special offer NOW! This exquisite Belgian poster will make a superlative addition to your growing collection... or proudly displayed in a prominent wall in YOUR den, home office or game room! GRADING: C10 EXCELLENT (Un-Circulated) A very rare and un-restored original 1973 Belgian movie poster with bright, vivid colors also boasting a very clean overall appearance. Poster shows hardly ANY signs of general use, such as foxing, edge toning and/or wear. No smudging or any type of minor tears! This 100% Very Rare & Vintage Original 1973 Belgian 14" x 22" Theatrical Poster comes securely packaged in thick & very sturdy "acid free" cardboard. Standard fold lines, no major defects or pinholes what-so-ever. This rare poster was originally sent to theatres to be displayed in the lobby to promote the film's running engagement. When it was over, most were thrown away to make room for the next movie. Thus, they were also printed on cheaper paper and the vintage poster that have survived today have multiple tears, stains, rips and multiple pin holes in each corner. It's a real miracle to find awesome 1973 Belgian movie poster in such excellent condition! The poster is folded precisely how one sheets were originally issued by the studio and sent out to the various theaters. This collectible Belgian poster in particular is now impossible to find, let alone in such pristine condition! Even the same poster with small rips, minor stains or tears fetches substantially more than our low "BUY IT NOW".
