The Curse Of The Werewolf
1961

When a hungry beggar scours the town of Castillo Siniestro for food, he chances upon a castle where the Marquis is just celebrating his wedding. At first the Marquis is mildly amused by the beggar, and throws him scraps from his table, but an off-the-cuff remark from the beggar angers the Marquis, and the beggar is thrown into jail. He ultimately becomes forgotten. The only people he sees are the jailer and his mute daughter. The mute girl is the only one to show him any kindness.

Years later, when the Marquis has become old, he makes advances on the mute servant girl, and when these advances are rejected, he throws her into the jail with the beggar. The beggar, driven insane by years of neglect, rapes her, and she becomes pregnant. The baby, Leon, born on Christmas day, is eventually adopted by a loving couple.

When Leon's adoptive father finds that Leon, because of his strange conception, can manifest wolf-like behaviour and attacks sheep at night, he does what he can to tone down his transformations.

When the time comes for Leon to leave the village, he gets a job at a wine merchant's. On a night out, carousing at a local brothel, he finally turns into a fully formed werewolf and a killing spree begins.
