Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Wolf Man is a 1941 American Gothic horror film written by Curt Siodmak and produced and directed by George Waggner. The film stars Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man. Claude Rains, Warren William, Ralph Bellamy, Patric Knowles, Bela Lugosi, Evelyn Ankers, and Maria Ouspenskaya star in supporting roles. The title character has had a great deal of influence on Hollywood's depictions of the legend of the werewolf. The film is the second Universal Pictures werewolf film, preceded six years earlier by the less commercially successful Werewolf of London (1935). It is one of the Universal Monsters movies, and garnered acclaim for its production. After the film's success, Lon Chaney Jr. reprised his role as "The Wolf Man" in four sequels, beginning with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man in 1943. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
