Hi,
Another DVD set from the Universal Legacy Collection, this time covering werewolves. Apart from their main Wolf Man series, Universal also made a couple of other werewolf movies, which are included in this set.
Lon Chaney Jr. was the only actor to play the Universal Wolf Man – Larry Talbot, who is bitten by a werewolf, and becomes one himself. There are four movies, on three discs, but fewer extras than in some of the other sets.
The Wolf Man (1941) was followed by Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), both of which are in this set. It also includes Werewolf of London (1935), with Henry Hull; and She-Wolf of London (1946), with June Lockhart.
The Wolf Man also appeared in House of Frankenstein (1944), which is in the Frankenstein set; House of Dracula (1945), which is in the Dracula set; and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).
Which means that he only got one film all to himself. In the various sequels, he had to share the limelight with at least one other monster.
