La Maldicion de la Bestia (Curse of the Beast) is a 1975 Spanish horror film that is the eighth in a long series about the werewolf Count Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy. The film has also been known as The Werewolf and the Yeti, Night of the Howling Beast and Hall of the Mountain King. This film ignored the events from the earlier film La Maldicion de la Bestia and provided an all-new origin for Waldemar's lycanthropy, having the curse transmitted by the bites of not one, but two, vampire women! A yeti is woven into the storyline (as in the earlier The Fury of the Wolfman (1970)), but in this film the yeti isn't the cause of Waldemar's lycanthropy, but rather the catalyst that brings Waldemar to Tibet in the first place. Naschy followed up this film with a sequel called Return of
