The Wolf Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was The Wolf Man that introduced the concepts of werewolves being vulnerable to silver (in traditional folklore, it’s more effective against vampires), the werewolf's forced shapeshifting under a full moon, and being marked with a pentagram (a symbol of the occult and of Satanism). The Wolf Man is a 1941 horror film written by Curt Siodmak and produced and directed by George Waggner, starring Lon Chaney Jr, Claude Rains, Evelyn Ankers, Ralph Bellamy, Patric Knowles, Bela Lugosi, and Maria Ouspenskaya. This time the Wolf Man was a hero of sorts, saving Wilbur Grey (Lou Costello) from having his brain transplanted by Dracula (Bela Lugosi) into the head of the monster (Glenn Strange). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Wolf_Man   (1083 words)

Sergei Pankejeff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Freud's first publication on the "Wolf Man" was "From the History of an Infantile Neurosis" (Aus der Geschichte einer infantilen Neurose), written at the end of 1914 but not published until 1918. Sergei Konstantinovitch Pankejeff (Russian: Сергей Константинович Панкеев) (December 24, 1886–May 7, 1979) was a Russian aristocrat from Odessa, who was best known for being a patient of Sigmund Freud, who gave him the pseudonym of Wolf Man (der Wolfsmann) to protect his identity, after a dream Pankejeff had of a tree full of white wolves. The Pankejeff family (note: this is Freud's German transliteration from the Russian; in English it would today be transliterated as Pankeev) owned large estates in both Odessa and near St. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sergei_Pankejeff   (1103 words)

The Wolf Man (1941) In 'The Wolf Man' he gives another excellent performance, but this movie was both a blessing and a curse to his career I think. 'The Wolf Man' has had an enormous influence on just about every subsequent werewolf movie. Lon Chaney Jr lived under the shadow of his famous father, but in 'The Wolf Man' he helped create a horror icon that has lasted for over sixty years. www.imdb.com /title/tt0034398   (709 words)

OAFE - Universal Monsters: The Wolf Man review After the Wolf Man, his most famous creation came in the 1942 novel Donovan's Brain, in which a scientist, unable to save the life of a wealthy tycoon, preserves his living brain. The Wolf Man is the daddy of the modern werewolves, and it's great that Jakks' terrible Van Helsing line has had the unexpected bonus of helping us track down this great figure of the original. Each of the three Universal Monsters sets comes with a large display base - the Wolf Man's is the spooky, fogbound forest around his ancestral home in Llanwelly, Wales. www.oafe.net /yo/unimonwm.php   (880 words)

DVDFILE.COM: The Wolf Man (1937) review THE WOLF MAN is one of my favorites of the Universal Horror canon, a tragic drama of one man's fate, and an inadvertent warning against good samaritanism. He is told by Maleva, an old gypsy woman, that what he killed was not a real wolf, but a werewolf: and that whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives will himself become a werewolf. THE WOLF MAN is a cut above the average horror. www.dvdfile.com /software/review/dvd-video/wolfman_1937.htm   (850 words)

Classic-Horror Review of The Wolf Man (1941) The Wolf Man is truly one of the greatest horror films of the ages. It was unclear in that script whether he was really a werewolf or just believed it to the point of "running around on all fours baying at the moon." Many of the pop-psychology references from the earlier version remained and helped elevate the script beyond a simple rampaging monster story. Okay, it was actually a German Shepherd named Moose; they couldn't find a wolf who could act the part. classic-horror.com /reviews/wolfman.shtml   (1378 words)

DVD Review - Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman/House Of Frankenstein Their goal is to rob the corpse of Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney, Jr.), better known to audiences as the Wolf Man. Instead of finding the skeleton of a man who’s been dead four years (despite the fact that this film was released only two years after "The Wolf Man"), they find Talbot’s body intact. Fans of the Frankenstein films may be disappointed that this film focuses mainly on the Wolf Man (come on, "Frankenstein" had at least three sequels by this point!), but "old bolt neck" does get into the action near the end. Two of these films, "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" and "House of Frankenstein" are now being made available on one double-feature DVD from Universal Home Video. www.dvdreview.com /fullreviews/frankenstein_meets_the_wolfman_house_of_frankenstein.shtml   (1370 words)

The Wolf Man The man thought if he moved away where there were no other people, he might teach these women to become good, so he moved his lodge away off on the prairie. Early in the morning, the man went out to hunt, and as soon as he was out of sight, his wives went up on top of the butte. Near where they camped was a high butte, and every evening about sundown, the man would go up on top of it, and look all over the country to see where the buffalo were feeding, and if any enemies were approaching. www.wayaadisi.com /native/wolfman.htm   (830 words)

DVD.net : The Wolf Man (1931) - DVD Review The Wolf Man was made in 1941, smack bang in the middle of the ‘monster period’ in Hollywood. Lon Chaney is truly great as the tormented Larry Talbot/The Wolf Man. He shows great skill in the role, particularly in the second half of the film where he falls into a spiral of despair. Wonderful stuff, and Siodmak creates a very nice screenplay for The Wolf Man. There were in fact five movies featuring Lon Chaney as the Wolf Man, and in most of the films he meets up with some other monster, such as Dracula and Frankenstein. www.dvd.net.au /review.cgi?review_id=1973   (1500 words)

What's with the Wolf Man and his clothes? You'd think that a Wolf Man would be a fairly loose and carefree dresser, but this one has his shirt buttoned up to the top button and the sleeves' cuffs buttoned. At the end, the Wolf Man is killed and we see his face gradually change back to poor, stupid Larry. What we have here is not just a man changing into a werewolf, but a man changing into a fussy, uptight, and also selfish werewolf. www.worldoflongmire.com /oddsnends/wolfman/wolfman.html   (638 words)

Reel.com: Mark Dacascos In the new French horror film Brotherhood of the Wolf, Dacascos takes on the role of Mani, the Mohawk Iroquois blood-brother to King Louis XV's court naturalist Grégoire de Fronsac (Samuel Le Bihan). Because of that relationship, when Christophe was putting the cast and crew together for Brotherhood of the Wolf, he proposed that I play Mani in the movie. As the two work to uncover the mystery surrounding the murderous Beast of Gévaudan, Mani emerges as both a fierce fighter who uses his talent in defense of the weak and the spiritual center of the film with a psychic bond to nature. www.reel.com /reel.asp?node=features/interviews/dacascos   (2087 words)

Amazon.ca: Wolf Man: Legacy Collection: DVD Chaney's Wolf Man appearance is amazingly vivid and, one supposes, somewhat frightening to moviegoers of the early 1940s. Third, we have SHE WOLF OF LONDON, starring June Lockhart as a woman who is either a murderous beast, or is being framed in a hideous plot to drive her insane. Beginning with his resurrection in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, Talbot's overriding ambition and sole wish is to die and be freed from the curse forever, yet he now knows he can never die- not by conventional means, anyway. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001CNRNE   (1569 words)

The Mummy (1932) / The Wolf Man The Wolf Man was the final of the five "Universal Monsters" DVDs that I watched, and since they all follow a similar format, I was pretty well-prepared for what I'd get on this DVD. Each DVD features some good supplements, though The Wolf Man is the clear winner in that category because of the high quality of its audio commentary and documentary; those two are worth the price of admission alone. The Wolf Man archive works along same lines as that for The Mummy: it's a mixture of posters, lobby cards and production photos accompanied by the soundtrack to the movie, and it runs for nearly seven minutes. www.dvdmg.com /mummywolfman.shtml   (2608 words)

DVD Review - The Wolf Man (1941) Gaffe-wise, you'll also see more reused shots of the stalking wolf man than there are shots of the moon (which isn't too hard actually, because there are NO shots of the moon).

The Wolf Man The son of fortune teller Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya), Bela was a lycanthrope, or "wolf man." And now that he has been bitten by Bela, Talbot is cursed to suffer the torments of the damned whenever the moon is full. Alas, after this powerhouse opening volley, the Wolf Man character was relegated to a series of cheap sequels, teaming him with other Universal shock stars: Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943), House of Frankenstein (1944) and House of Dracula (1945). "Even a man who is pure at heart/And says his prayers by night/May become a wolf when the wolf-bane blooms/And the moon is full and bright."

Jameson was wearing it around his throat on the first night of a full moon when lunar luminescence reacted with the pendant, causing him to transform into a wolf like humanoid creature. Morbius hoped to use the Man-Wolf as his pawn in a scheme to cure himself of his vampiric affliction, but that scheme was thwarted by Spider-Man.

THE WOLF MAN Another welcome entry in Universal's monster collection, The Wolf Man looks sharper and richer here than it ever has before, though restoration addicts will be dismayed to note that some rough print damage still exists, particularly during the opening credits and a couple of reel changes. Unlike Dracula and Frankenstein, Universal had few preexisting sources to use as inspiration for their enormously popular The Wolf Man, the best of their post-'30s monster films. Though not as artistically dazzling as the first two Frankenstein films, The Wolf Man possesses its own peculiar charm and has deservedly remained a fan favorite over the decades. www.mondo-digital.com /wolfman.html   (540 words)
