The Wolf Man (1941)/Werewolf of London (1935)

Double bill of werewolf horror. In 'The Wolf Man' (1941), Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr) returns from college in America to his father's (Claude Rains) mansion in Wales.

After meeting Gwen Conliffe (Evelyn Ankers) in the local village, he escorts her to the local fair.

She tells him the local legend of the werewolf, but he laughs it off - even when gypsy fortune teller Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya) and her son Bela (Bela Lugosi) also tell him to beware.

Later in the evening Gwen's friend Jenny is attacked by a wild wolf.

Larry rescues her, but is bitten in the process. Sure enough, when the next full moon comes round, Larry finds himself transformed into the wolfman - a murderous creature that can only be destroyed by silver.

In 'Werewolf of London' (1935), Dr Wilfred Glendon (Henry Hull) is attacked on a dark night by a strange animal while abroad on a botanical expedition.

On his return to London, he realises that he himself has become a werewolf, turning into a crazed beast at every full moon.

His only hope of a cure is a rare flower that can only be found in Asia.
