Frankly, it creeped me out. I haven't seen this film and I dare say that the wolfish face behind the rocks is creepy too. I think I'd like to see this black and white film. By the way, another wolf film I couldn't stomach was Jack Nicholson's "Wolf."Prashant C.

Excellent screen-grabs, too! I especially got a kick out of "...interesting how werewolfs (and for that matter, vampires and such) always seem to stick to the poorer districts. Don't the rich deserve to be killed with the same impunity? But I digress..."

Near the beginning of the film, Valerie Hobson's wide-brimmed hat keeps getting in the way of the male actors' heads. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-5812674415276058802013-10-02T10:34:21.686-04:002013-10-02T10:34:21.686-04:00A definite 'must see' - especially this mo...A definite 'must see' - especially this month, Lauren. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-21218672044972101132013-10-02T10:33:53.313-04:002013-10-02T10:33:53.313-04:00Oh, happenstance.

Although it may be considered cheesy by some, one of my favorite scenes is Henry Hull walking between the columns changing into the werewolf -- I just love it! And his wife's clothes -- those dated filmy dresses and big hats, covered with fabric flowers... Spring Byington is a hoot. The music is fun... I just plain have a lot of fun with this one.

I always watch "Werewolf of London" on October 3rd in celebration of the shared birth date of Henry Hull (1890) and Warner Oland (1879).<br /><br />Ethel Griffies and Zeffie Tilbury absolutely steal the movie as Mrs. Whack and Mrs. Moncaster.
