No way! What a great surprise to wake up to! My favorite classic monster is the werewolf — largely due to this movie. Although not the first werewolf movie; silents made in the teens and 20s are lost, but Universal's 1935's "Werewolf of London" is definitely worth a watch. However, "The Wolfman" is difinitive for me: great cast, great score, beautifully photographed — and effective SFX for its time. It would spawn several sequels and crossovers in a shared universe long before Marvel. Frankenstein battled the Wolf Man in "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" 1943, then they fought Dracula in "House of Frankenstein," 1944 and also in "House of Dracula," 1945 — all culminating in a final battle in "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" in 1948. Yes, it's a horror comedy but the horror and the monsters are played straight which makes Abbot and Costello's comedy all the funnier. It's truly a wonderful classic which closes out the Universal Monster era (and I daresay you can skip the other crossovers as long as you've watched the three standalone Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman movies). But I digress. I can't wait to come home tonight and watch this reaction to Wolf Man. I know I'll love it. There are so many good werewolf films (and alot oif bad ones). I thoroughly enjoyed your "An American Werewolf in London (1981), "Dog Soldiers" (2202) and "Ginger Snaps" (2000). But I continue to wait with bated breath for your reaction to my personal favorite werewolf flick, "The Howling" (1981). Thanks for all the screams and laughs, Kat!

So, Fun Fact: The Lon Chaney in this film was the son of the great Lon Chaney, the silent film star who did all his own makeup and created the iconic Phantom of the Opera look, and many other great characters. But this film's "Lon Chaney," the son of the original, was born Creighton Chaney, and later assumed his father's name so as to take advantage of his fame. Not to fault him for this (it may have been a studio thing), since he was a very fine actor in his own right. The makeup was, of course, by Universal's Jack Peirce, who did the other Universal monsters and was responsible for Karloff's flat-headed Frankenstein's Monster. "Even one who is pure of heart . . ."

Yay for more Universal Monsters! And this gives me an excuse to gush about Claude Rains (Sir John)...First of all, I'm so glad you recognized him. He is one of my all-time favorite actors and I think he was one of the greats from this era. He genuinely could play anything; I do think his role in this film is a little underwritten, and in the hands of a lesser actor, could come across very two-dimensional. But Rains was able to fill Sir John with so much dignity and pathos...and his arc is genuinely sad. He starts the movie having just lost one son, and by the end, he's lost the other. And by his own hands. And you can see all of that in his expression at the end. If you want to watch more Claude Rains, then The Invisible Man is essential. That's one of my favorite Universal Monster Movies (second only to The Phantom of the Opera 1943, which also stars Claude Rains). The effects are amazing and still hold up to this day. And Rains' performance is unhinged. I'd also recommend Hitchcock's Notorious (1946), which also stars Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, who you'll recognize as Ilsa from Casablanca. So glad you're checking out some older films! I hope we get more of them on the channel soon...1960's horror especially has some of my favorite films. Hope you'll check out Wait Until Dark soon! :)

I'm glad you're still open to watching Old Hollywood classics! Don't let anyone tell you different, The Invisible Man (1933) and The Old Dark House (1932) are the BEST! They're both from James Whale, same director as the original Frankenstein. Also, I just watched the Japanese horror film Cure (1997), and now understand why it's rated one of the greatest of the genre. Highly recommend that too!

You really should watch Wolf Man (2025). It had mixed reviews, but I really loved it.

Daniel Turbyfill

It is interesting to me that werewolf films are often tragedies. The person who is the wolf is often as much a victim as those who are killed by the wolf.

Imagine the Wolfman,Dracula and the Invisible Man in one movie.

Michael Davis

Hey! Where's you rating? That's what we came for.

Jason Thomas

since you've watched the DRACULA movies you should give THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER a try KAT :)

The writing style and elocution of the actors of this era is so awesome.

it is a metaphor, but what you don't understand when sarcastically aske if people suspected of crimes could just run around in the 1940's unlike today. Girl it's about great wealth and power and what exceptions are made for the powerful. The Talbot's are the power in that community. Those same exceptions for the rich and powerful are made today. I could cite many examples but I don't want to get political.

There is a pretty good sequel, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, 1943, with Lon Chaney Jr. reprising his role.
