This movie scared the heck out of me as a kid. While it might seem a bit dated according to today's horror standards, it still ranks as the standard for the werewolf genre. Jack Pierce does a masterful job with Lon Chaney's makeup. A bit of trivia: The little chant about a man who is pure of heart was changed for the sequel. "Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolf bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." In the sequel, Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, the last line was changed to: "when the moon is full and bright." Also, Ralph Bellamy's rank in the opening credits was "Colonel" but Claude Rains Refers to him as "Captain."
