Lon Chaney Jr. - The Wolfman,"The Wolfman" (1941)

Lon Chaney Jr. - The Wolfman

In another piece spotlighting the Classic Horror Films of the 40's and 50's for the Halloween season, Lon Chaney Jr. can be seen in the 1941 Universal Classic Horror film, The Wolfman, lurking in the mist while howling at the moon!  And why not this is a heck of picture, in so many ways...  Few of the monsters from the golden age of horror cinema were originals.  Most of the Universal Monsters were adaptations, Bela Lugosi's Dracula was a novel - and the film is actually an adaptation of the stage play that was adapted from the afore mentioned book, as well as the inimitable Frankenstein which was a novel by Mary Shelley.  The Wolfman and The Mummy however, were both originals and have found a welcome place in the dark corners of our imaginations and a loving place in our hearts.

Benicio Del Toro - The Wolfman, "The Wolfman" (2010)

Benicio Del Toro - The Wolfman

Straight out of our ongoing series spotlighting Classic Universal Horror Monsters, Benicio Del Toro leaps howling from the page in his role as Lawrence Talbot in the 2010 "Wolfman" remake.  One of the few remakes that didn't fallen flat on it's face, much of the film's success is due to the delightfully grotesquely horrific make-up for the monster, of course Del Toro's undeniable acting abilities did't hurt the situation either; even though he was lurking beneath a sea of latex and one furry body suit!

Snag this snarling beast on prints in several convenient sizes and formats, starting in the notebook size and ranging all the way to posters and  sweaters / shirts!
