La Noche De Walpurgis
''La Noche de Walpurgis'' /''Walpurgis Night'' (released in the United States as ''The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman'', in the UK as ''Shadow of the Werewolf'', and in Canada as ''Werewolf Shadow''), is a 1970 Spanish/German horror film starring Paul Naschy, the fifth in his series about the werewolf Waldemar Daninsky. This film was directed by León Klimovsky and written by Paul Naschy, and is generally regarded to have kickstarted the Spanish horror film boom of the 1970s (as well as Naschy's career), due to its awesome box office success upon its release. This was Naschy's all-time most financially successful film. It was also the first of 8 films that he would make with director Leon Klimovsky at the helm. The Munich-based production partner responsible for making the film was named Hi-fi Stereo 70 KG, who were also responsible for Michael Armstrong's '' Mark of the Devil''. Thus, it has long been mistakenly believed that it was produced in 70mm and stereo sound; it was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Waldemar Daninsky
Waldemar, Valdemar or Woldemar is an Old High German given name. It consists of the elements ''wald-'' "power", "brightness" and ''-mar'' "fame". The name is considered the equivalent of the Slavic name Vladimir, Volodymyr, Uladzimir or Włodzimierz. The Old Norse form ''Valdamarr'' (also ''Valdarr'') occurs in the Guðrúnarkviða II as the name of a king of the Danes. The Old Norse form is also used in Heimskringla, in the story of Harald Hardrada, as the name of a ruler of Holmgard (Veliky Novgorod), in this case as a translation of the Slavic name ''Volodimer''.Alison Finlay (2004). ''Fagrskinna: A Catalogue of the Kings of Norway''. Brillp. 236 The ''Fagrskinna'' kings' sagas also have ''Valdamarr'' as the translation of Slavic ''Volodimer''/''Vladimir'', in reference to both Vladimir the Great and Vladimir Yaroslavovich.
