Werewolf of London (1935)
I FINALLY saw this movie last Sunday on Amazon Prime.
It was surprisingly well-acted - given the more melodramatic acting style of the mid-30's. The sets were very well-done, costuming excellent, and the transition scenes where Hull changes into a werewolf were handled very well given 1930's technology. The werewolf makeup was very good and very low-key. If you've never seen it, it's worth a viewing !

Very underrated, very atmospheric. And it resulted in a GREAT kit sculpt by John Dennett!

I bought this kit unbuilt a few months ago, it's a great kit and was sold in the 1990's by RESIN FROM THE GRAVE.Rebwares wrote:Very underrated, very atmospheric. And it resulted in a GREAT kit sculpt by John Dennett!
There was another great kit of the Henry Hull Werewolf produced by the defunct JANUS Company.

Rick and Rebwares - I love that Dennett sculpt. Great action pose ! I think the Janus kit was the one with him standing by the big gate with the lamp on top - right ?
I'd love to get one - guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open !
1. Back to the movie - it also had a great supporting cast - loved the two old drunken landladies !
2. I was going to buy the DVD on Amazon and I was surprised that it was priced so high (almost $30) given the age of the movie ! Settled for a rental viewing for $3.99. Pristine condition.
3. Also - news about John Dennett on Facebook - he recently had a heart attack. He survived but he's going to be recovering for awhile.

Re: Werewolf of London (1935)
An old favorite of mine.
The creature is more a Wolfman than a Werewolf, though few make a true distinction between the two.
I have a theory that the Werewolf legend came from the outlawry of a Norseman who could not or would not pay the fine levied against him for the unlawful or even lawful self defense killing of another Norseman. They called the fine a "Wereguild" and one who was outlawed was called a "Wolfshead". Anyone outlawed could be hunted and killed as if they were no more than a dangerous animal. Combine that with Berserker Rage and bad things are bound to happen.
Also a Norse warrior cult called the "Wolf Hearts" were the king's personal guard. They were more deadly than a Berserker because they could control their fighting rage and were trained in "War Magic". They used Amanita Muscara to reach a level where they felt no pain and had near super human speed and strength.

Get the Wolf Man Complete Legacy Collection instead. $16 gets you loads of Universal WolfMan goodness, including WoL. Side note: All the Universal Legacy Collections are wonderful bargains, and just the thing for that obsessive completist inside you.Ellis Kendrick wrote:I was going to buy the DVD on Amazon and I was surprised that it was priced so high (almost $30) given the age of the movie...

I also just now saw this 2 movie offer for Werewolf of London / She-Wolf of London $7.50
But as mentioned, the Legacy Collection is great!
