Tomb of the Werewolf
Tomb of the Werewolf is a 2003 film directed by Fred Olen Ray. It is the twelfth and last in a long series of films about the werewolf Count Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy. The film contains a number of adult sex scenes bordering on softcore pornography.
The film was shot on Video in 2003 and first distributed directly to VHS as Tomb of the Werewolf in June 2004. It was later reissued as an uncensored DVD in 2015 as The Unliving by Retromedia Entertainment. Director Ray said years later in an interview that the film never made a profit.
