Description by Oldies.com:
A walk through the woods turns into a night of terror when Mary is grabbed by a pair of
powerful hairy claws. A monstrous man-beast tears at her throat in a bloodbath of
screaming terror! The discovery of her mutilated body sends shock waves through the
nearby girl's reformatory. Recently joining the staff of the school is Julian Olcott, a
professor with a medical background and a questionable past. There are many other
suspicious characters to be found, including Mr. Swift, who runs the academy, his
associate Lenore and Walter, the sinister caretaker.
The girls are distraught over Mary's violent death and one student, Priscilla, is determined
to solve the ghastly mystery. She believes that Mary was involved in some kind of
blackmail plot and that her death was an act of murder. Meanwhile, the townspeople
have begun setting traps for the wolves they believe are responsible for the killing. One
night Priscilla is assaulted by the same frightening monster that killed Mary. She narrowly
escapes death and flees for safety into the arms of the very person who may well be the
vicious campus killer!
Originally called Lycanthropus, the sensationally re-titled Werewolf In A Girls' Dormitory
was an eerie European production dubbed in English for release on a double-bill with
Boris Karloff's Corridors Of Blood in the U.S. With ferocious wolfman make-up,
including extra long fangs and drooling saliva, and a bevy of pretty girls, Werewolf In a
Girls' Dormitory is an atmospheric, monster-laden whodunnit. The film also features
Polish actress Barbara Lass, Roman Polanski's first wife.
