Wolf Man
Universal


Universal put out several titles of Werewolf movies, including crossovers with Frankenstein and the others. They starred legends such as Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, and Boris Karloff. In later years a company called Hammer put out multiple movies using the same characters but starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The only made one with a werewolf, unfortunately.

The Wolf Man
The Wolf Man

Classic, classic Universal Monster film. Chaney returns to his ancestral Welsh home, meets up with gypsies Lugosi and Ouspenskaya, gets bitten by the lycanthropic Lugosi and soon develops more hair on his palms than an autoerotic Catholic schoolboy. Great makeup by Jack Pierce was originally the design to be used for the since-forgotten Henry Hull in Werewolf of London.

A classic monster teamup film. Wolfman Larry Talbot (Chaney) returns to seek Dr. Frankenstein, who might have a cure for his lycanthropy. Along the way he meets Bela Lugosi as the Monster, and the two eventually come to blows


House of Frankenstein
House of Frankenstein

Lots of Universal monster fun as Karloff plays a (yeah, yeah) mad scientist, complete with hunchbacked assistant , who robs a travelling sideshow featuring the skeletal remains of Count Dracula. Along the way, he revives the Count, uses him to dispatch some old foes, meets the Wolfman, revives Frankenstein's monster, is pursued by Central Casting's Torch-Wielding Mob and dies in quicksand.


House of Dracula
House of Dracula

Wild, wild sequel to Universal's monster-rally House of Frankenstein. Stevens is a well-meaning scientist (no, he's not mad yet) who attempts to find a cure for Dracula and the Wolfman via some revolutionary new surgical techniques. Eventually, he finds the Frankenstein monster's body and is determined to bring it back to life. A stranger to the concept of free-time, the pressure gets to the doc and he is slowly driven... you guessed it.


Curse of the Werewolf Curse of the Werewolf Curse of the Werewolf

This is the only Hammer werewolf film. A young man fights the hideous curse of his evil birth. But the wolf's blood running through his veins is victorious when he suffers the denial of love. His ravished victims are proof that the cravings of his beast-blood demands he kill. He has one body but lives with two souls!
