The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Nov 3, 2013
Larry has just discovered he is in castle Frankenstein, and has discovered the Frankenstein monster !. After releasing the monster from its icy sarcophagus they explore what ‘s left of the castle, which isn’t very much. Eventually this most unlikely pair of characters find what’s l read more
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man–EP. 3
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 28, 2013
Larry searches hi and lo for Maleva. Eventually he leaves England to search in Europe. He searches with no actual plan, so he covers ground he’s already covered. After what seems a fruitless search he wanders into a yet another gypsy camp. He approaches a fellow having a shave and asks a quest read more
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man-Ep. 2
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 20, 2013
Nice name. But hardly original. Ok, maybe for this film it was. But enough about that. When we first see Larry in bed he resembles a beached walrus in pajamas, or somebody who has the mumps. My dad had the mumps in his early thirties, and looked somewhat like this. His head wasn’t bandaged, bu read more
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man–Ep. 1
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 16, 2013
Originally this blog was a fur and fangs marathon. I think its best I re-name it to a monster marathon. You never know who is going to show up. First a word of warning. If you do all sorts of research on this film (like I did) you’re going to find dozens upon dozens of references to other Uni read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 8
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 6, 2013
Larry prepares for his second transformation which comes far too swiftly for Larry’s liking. He changes, blunders about the woods, but without fulfilling his primary task which is to kill someone. While tromping about he walks into a leg hold trap. The teeth on the trap are meant to cause excr read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 7
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 2, 2013
When we left Larry Talbot he was in the midst of his first transformation from human to wolf. Right now he is on his first prowl hoping to kill someone. I strongly suspect some the anger that we see on the screen is directed at or at least instigated by makeup man Jack Pierce. Having all that Yak ha read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 6
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 28, 2013
Jenny's mom is hurting. Her daughter has just died. And she’s going to make sure everybody in the town knows she’s hurting. But she’s not above making a little trouble along the way. She and her cronies charge into Conliffes Antique store to harangue Gwen’s father, and more o read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 5
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 23, 2013
A local man comes into the house, almost knocking Maleva over, and announces what we already know – Jenny is dead, pushing up daisies, taking a dirt nap, snuffed it, kicked the bucket, etc. This really attracts the attention of Sir John and Capt. Montford. These two put on a display of typical read more
The Wolf Man–Episode 4
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 20, 2013
At the appointed hour Gwen closes up the shop. She closes the door, locks it, and stands on the sidewalk. Just then Larry comes out the fog. After exchanging pleasantries they decide to go to the gypsy camp to have their fortunes told. Before they go anywhere Gwen tells Larry that she shouldn’ read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 3
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 17, 2013
Larry surveys the kingdom he one day will rule. Ok, he won’t rule it like a king. He’ll just be one of the most important people in that particular neck of the woods. At first the image is a bit out of focus. Then he zeros in on a young ladies bedroom/dressing room. I must admit the woma read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 2
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 15, 2013
We came here to see a film, and maybe learn a bit along the way so on with the show ! (in case you forgot you’re about to see a whole acre of screen captures, all done by yours truly) At the beginning of the film Larry is being driven to Talbot Castle by the family chauffeur. It’s the on read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 1.5
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 13, 2013
Bela Lugosi was a victim of his own success. He was typecast early in his career, and it would follow him to his grave. Born Bela Ferenc Dezso Blasko he changed his name to Bela Lugosi. He was from Hungary, and his home town was Lugo. This name would serve as his “new” last name. He play read more
The Wolf Man (1941)–episode 1
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 9, 2013
Before you is the title of an iconic, classic horror movie. And this film almost wasn’t made. I don’t know who might have been in it, but it would have still been called The Wolf Man. Confused ?. Don’t worry, that’s normal. Now read on. You see in 1924 Fox Films produced a si read more

The Sins of the Father: Claude Rains in THE WOLF MAN (1941)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Aug 2, 2012
Although
rock solid supporting player Claude Rains is certainly best remembered today as
the mercurial Louis in CASABLANCA (1942), the English actor also made huge
contributions to the genre of horror, and Turner Classic Movies will put the
spotlight on that aspect of Rains’ career with its pr read more

The Wolf Man
MacGuffin Movies Posted by RBuccicone on Oct 4, 2011
The Wolf Man (1941) I realize now I had higher hopes for what I perceived as among the great classic horror stories than I should have. I think the downfall of The Wolf Man might lie in its script. Silly, contrived and dumb dialogue make for many a hokey moment in this tale of the beast within read more
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943, Roy William Neill)
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 26, 2010
Of all the Universal monster movies, The Wolf Man “deserved” a real sequel most. With Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, Lon Chaney Jr.’s abilities to essay the Larry Talbot role really shine through. I’ve read (and maybe even repeated here) Chaney never gets credit for playin read more
The Wolf Man (1941, George Waggner)
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 28, 2008
The Wolf Man‘s most lasting influence–beyond the advantages of using Larry Talbot as a synonym (Pynchon did it in Vineland) and the endlessly suffering protagonist–has to be the music. I noticed parts both John Williams (for The Empire Strikes Back) and Danny Elfman (for Batman Re read more
