Verónica Miriel, born in Madrid in 1955, emerged as a prominent figure in the world of Spanish exploitation cinema during the 1970s. She appeared in Night of the Howling Beast (1975), where she navigated the eerie landscapes of horror alongside cult legends. Miriel also starred in Eyeball (1975), a film that exemplifies the gory excesses of the era. Although she stepped away from the spotlight in the 1980s, her contributions to the genre remain a vital part of the cult film conversation.
Night of the Howling Beast
Waldemar Daninsky goes to Tibet to look for proof that the yeti exists. He gets captured by two savage vampire women in a cave who turn him into a werewolf by biting him. Waldemar's friends are then kidnapped by a band of Tibetan pirates who torture their victims gruesomely, and in the grand climax of the film, Waldemar (in werewolf form) gets to fight a genuine Yeti in bloody hand-to-fang combat. Although a yeti is involved in the plot, note it is the two vampire women (and not the yeti) who transform Waldemar into a werewolf in this film, thus giving him yet another origin for his lycanthropy.
