El Retorno del Hombre Lobo (The Return of the Wolfman) is a 1980^{[citation needed]} Spanish horror film that is the ninth in a 12-film series about the werewolf Count Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy. It is also known as The Craving and Night of the Werewolf.

The film was first theatrically released in Spain in April 1981, and was later shown at the 1982 Fantasporto Festival. The film was released theatrically in the U.S. as The Craving in 1985, then released to video as The Craving, and more recently on DVD as Night of the Werewolf. Shout Factory also released it on Blu-ray as part of their "Paul Naschy Collection set.^[1]

The film had a much larger budget than previous Naschy werewolf productions. Angel Luis de Diego handled the werewolf makeup and special effects.

Naschy followed this up with a tenth werewolf film, La Bestia y la Espada Magica (The Beast and the Magic Sword).
