Werewolf on the prowl
This week's Movie Night selection is The Wolf Man (1941), starring Lon Chaney, Jr. as the titular monster. This Universal horror classic was essentially a "B" picture at the time of its release; that is to say it was a low-budget genre film, meant to make a quick profit for the the studio. Nearly 70 years later, The Wolf Man has outlasted many of the studio's prestige pictures and become a permanent part of American popular culture, alongside Dracula, Frankenstein and The Invisible Man.
