Hell's Creatures (U.K./Australia), a.k.a. The Nights of Satan (Italy), a.k.a. Hell Creature (Pakistan/Turkey) and re-released years later in Germany as Hexen des Grauens / The Witches of Horror; directed by Enrique Eguiluz; originally filmed in 3-D and Hi-Fi 70mm, but it was only shown that way in Munich, Germany; first released theatrically in Spain in July 1968; in Germany in Feb. 1969; in England in Feb. 1970; and in the U.S. in a shortened version as Frankenstein's Bloody Terror in 1971; released to U.S. late-night television (edited) in 1974; released on DVD (unedited/ letterboxed) as Frankenstein's Bloody Terror.
Las Noches del Hombre Lobo / The Nights of the Wolf Man (1968) directed in Paris allegedly by "Rene Govar". This is a lost film today, and no one (not even Paul Naschy) has ever seen it. But Naschy insisted that he wrote the screenplay and stayed in Paris for a week to star in it. The French director of the film, Rene Govar (who suspiciously only directed this one film), is said to have died in a car accident in Paris a week after the filming was completed, and no one ever paid the lab bill that was outstanding. Hence it is thought the lab confiscated the negative and probably just discarded it later. Naschy claimed he only became aware decades later that the film had never been released anywhere. Some Naschy historians think the project was scrapped before it was greenlighted and the script was later rewritten to become the fourth film in the series, La Furia del Hombre Lobo (1970). This is very possible, since Naschy remembered both films had virtually the same plot. No reference books have ever turned up any stills from the film or information on its director, Rene Govar. Naschy himself could not even recall the names of any of his co-stars on the project, but it remains on the list since Naschy swore the film existed.

Naschy played generic werewolves in four other films that were not part of the Hombre Lobo series....
Buenas Noches, Señor Monstruo / Good Night, Mr. Monster (1982) Naschy played a generic werewolf in this children's Spanish TV musical/comedy; he reportedly did the show just for the money; never shown outside of Spain; never dubbed into English.
El Aullido del Diablo / The Howl of the Devil (1987) directed by Paul Naschy, co-starring Caroline Munro, Howard Vernon and Naschy's real-life son Sergio Molina in a major role; Naschy plays an insane ex-actor who dresses up as various famous monsters in this film, in one scene specifically playing the werewolf Waldemar Daninsky (Sergio actually addresses the werewolf as "Waldemar" in the scene), but it is only a very brief cameo; no theatrical release anywhere; shown only on Spanish TV in 1988; never dubbed into English; finally became available on Blu-ray from Mondo Macabro in 2021.
Aqui Huele A Muerto (Pues Yo No He Sido) / It Smells Like Death Here (Well, It Wasn't Me) (1990); directed by Alvaro de Heredia and starring Spanish comedians Martes y Trece (Josema Yuste and Millan Salcedo), Naschy is limited to a glorified cameo which climaxes in an all-out monster mash reminiscent of the Universal Monsters movies, but in which he of course plays a generic werewolf; never dubbed into English nor shown outside of Spain; a Region 2 DVD is available, however.
Um Lobisomem na Amazônia / A Werewolf in The Amazon (2005) a.k.a. Amazonia Misteriosa; filmed in Brazil, directed by Ivan Cardoso; Naschy plays a mad doctor who transforms into a werewolf in this ultra-modern semi-sequel to H. G.
