Universal kept putting out horror films after Bride of Frankenstein, and would hit it big again - zeitgeistwise - with The Wolf Man in 1941.
No, he does not look like a dog or wolf, he absolutely looks like a guy with a glandular problem and in need of a dentist. But that's not the real terror of the film. It's a movie about curses and bad luck. And trying to convince people that Claude Raines could have fathered Lon Chaney Jr. (Mrs. Wolf Man must have been 7'3").
Still, it's a fun picture and perfect for the days leading up to Halloween!

The Universal Monsters Hallow-Scream Watch Party series is meant to be a casual good-time as we check out the run of horror movies that started with Dracula and have become staples of culture the world over! Everyone knows what these monsters look and act like, but it's probable most people haven't ever actually seen the movies they're in! So, come watch!
Starting just two years after the silent era, these movies quickly became the blockbusters of their day, bringing strange ideas most people hadn't considered, wild visuals, and complicated creatures to the screen. And, ever since, studios have been looking to recapture this particular lightning in a bottle.
We think you'll enjoy watching along and checking out the creepfest that is Universal Horror!
