“Even a man who is pure of heart, and says his prayers by night May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright.” As any good horror fan knows, these words foreshadow the nightmare to come in Universal Studios’ classic monster flick, The Wolf Man. Produced/directed by George Waggner in 1941, this howling good b/w film introduced audiences to a character that stands alongside Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula as one of the “Unholy Three,” the most recognized of the Universal monsters.

Join AC and his awesome panel of guests (Larry Fessenden, Rob Galluzzo, Daniel Kiggins, Tom Mula, Lee Price) as we head back 85 years to the 1940s silver age of Universal to witness the birth of a new horror star in Lon Chaney and a new horror icon in THE WOLF MAN!!
