    Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom: Shaun accidentally creates a monster in the third film of the Wallace & Gromit spin-off, that riffs largely on Universal horror like Frankenstein and The Wolf Man. Retreads Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but still fun, a very gentle intro to horror for kids.

    Curt Siodmak's screenplay for The Wolf Man is usually credited with introducing a silver allergy to werewolves, but he is NOT actually the originator (not telling who is, yet). The film DID embed the idea in popular consciousness though (and really, our basic idea of werewolves generally)

    Ages since a film, so tonight’s 📽️ was The Undying Monster (1942, dir. John Brahm), a very entertaining pulpy 20th Century Fox cousin to Universal’s The Wolf Man. More of a mystery than a horror, Brahm and company pack in low angles, shadow and bold camera work. Fantastic cast, too. Beautifully done.

    "Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself." Remembering legendary Russian actress Maria Ouspenskaya, born OTD in 1876. She had considerable success on the stage and other film roles, but Maleva in THE WOLF MAN made her immortal. She died in 1949.

    #werewolfwednesday The Undying Monster (1942) imagined lycanthropy as a disease, carried here by the Hammond family. Based on the 1922 novel by Jessie Douglas Kerruish, the film was still seen as a ripoff of The Wolf Man the year before. It is original & includes elements of a “spooky old house”

    So Lon Chaney jr. played both the Wolf-Man and, as of the most recent film, the Frankenstein monster. However for their crossover film they'd have to recast one of them if they're going to interact. You'd think it'd be the Wolf-Man since his character died at the end of that film, but no.
