Wolf Man: Folklore and Physcology merge in horror film
This black & white classic features the work of Lon Chaney, Jr. who gives a much underrated performance as the tortured victim of a werewolf curse. Claude Reins ("Cassablanca", "The Invisable Man") also gives a great portrayal of his concerned but skeptical father. With its stellar cast, moody atmosphere and topics like the supernatural, religion, mental illness, and lycnathropy, the Wolf Man is the perfect horror film. Chaney does tragedy well, and the ultimate screen-queen of the forties, Evelyn Ankers is excellent also. Filled with Gypsys and forest scenes (under the light of the full moon, of course), the story is just right for All-Hallows Eve. Watch for a special cameo by Bela Lugosi! Besides being a great movie, it brings back wonderful childhood memories of staying up late with family on Friday nights and being scared silly! Spooky, but a family film by today's standards. This is a MUST-SEE for movie-buffs.
