Author's real name was Leo Guild, if I remember correctly.</I>)<br /><br />A slight correction here: Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman ie. originally La Noche de Walpurgis is not Mexican, but Spanish-West German co-production. Starring the legendary Paul Naschy aka. Jacinto Molina (aka. "Espanjan nussiva susi") this one is (if my memory serves me correctly) the one where the body of the werewolf is found (after he/it was killed in the last film of the Waldemar Daninsky -series) and then they remove the two silver bullets from his chest. Thus resurrecting the werewolf. Then it's more of the normal Paul Naschy -stuff; some skin, inept police work and a Final Battle, this time with a vampire. <br /><br />Ned Brooks says it quite nicely on IGOTS #4 about the American edition of the book:<br /><br />"The Werewolf vs Vampire Woman - Arthur N. Scarm - Skiffy Press, Newport News and New Orleans, 1987, no price.<br /> Or, if you please, "The Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman" by Arthur N. Scram - the title and Arthurs name are given both ways... In either case, the author's name is followed by the mysterious "a.s.p.c.d.". Extensive research has not revealed what honor these letters represent. Fine binding in gold-stamped maroon pebbled vinyl and appropriate illustrations by Alan Hutchinson cannot conceal that this is undoubtedly the worst horror-fantasy novel ever written. Bad taste, bad dialogue, bad grammar, bad syntax, an idiotic plot and a style that if it were architectural could only be called 'early outhouse' are only slightly relieved by a certain talent for bizarre and grotesque imagery."<br /><br />More oddity regarding this one. The film inspired these two people to use the main characters at 1986 SF Worldcon: http://fanac.org/worldcon/ConFederation/w86-003.htmljukkahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012463983611753520noreply@blogger.com
