at least ol' larry talbot did get to appear in an alvin and the chipmunks film as literally just himself i guess

how's that for a miserable wet cat, or, uh, dog of a main character? it almost makes you feel bad that the wolf man is the only original universal horror monster who never got a sequel all to himself, even though universal has tried to reboot him three separate times now...

-silver is the only way to kill a werewolf (the wolf man, house of frankenstein)

-werewolves only transform at night (the wolf man)

-werewolves only transform during the full moon (frankenstein meets the wolf man)

-wolfsbane/aconite can inhibit the transformation (frankenstein meets the wolf man)

the wolf man (1941) and his subsequent character appearances throughout the 40s run of universal horror film, lawrence talbot is where we get a large swath of werewolf cinematic dogma (lol) that people still measure werewolf flicks by today:

still has random weird 30s racism though! but this time it was tibetan racism instead of the romani racism that would plague most of the films of his more hirsute cousin the wolf man

since it was the first mainstream werewolf flick there weren't any established cinematic werewolf lore for them to go by and if you watch it it really shows. a werewolf film with no moonlight-powered transformations, no silver, no pentagrams, hey tony gimme a pizza with NOTHIN

tah | Local Sarah Fortune Enjoyer @tahthetrickster.bsky.social · 9d

all the previous depictions of werewolves in movies used regular old "wolves" (unclear on if they were actually wolves or trained dogs) (the 1910s-20s were a wild time)

tah | Local Sarah Fortune Enjoyer @tahthetrickster.bsky.social · 9d

-first feature-length werewolf film
-first "talkie" werewolf film (p sure on this one)
-(retroactively) considered the first werewolf to appear in the classic Universal Monsters horror cinematic lineup
-first cinematic werewolf to use the "humanoid wolf-monster" style werewolf!

MORE FAST FACTS
you will probably see some incorrect claims online that this is the first werewolf movie. it's actually like the third. at the earliest. it's some firsts in other ways though!

-all copies of the film itself are gone but we still have this promo image from the december 1913 edition of The Universal Weekly magazine
-we also have this title card from the film, since it was a traditionally painted still card (as most things were at the time)

1913 promotional image for silent film, "The Werewolf." Image text as follows:

"The Werewolf"
"101 Bison" Two-reel drama

Though Clifford objects, the friars drive Watuma away.

A beautiful story, based on an Indian legend. Watuma, daughter of a wronged Indian squaw, is turned into a wolf. She returns, years later, as a "wolf-woman" to wreak vengeance on Clifford, reincarnated as a prospector. Distinctly novel.

-all copies were in fact destroyed in a warehouse fire in i think 1924. sad!
-this was the first film made after the production company’s merger with (at the time) “Universal Film Manufacturing Company”
-yes THAT universal
-werewolves have been Universal Monsters since the start!

more fast facts on this one:
-the title was literally “the werewolf” and it’s regarded as the first werewolf film in history
-apparently it was wildly violent for 1913?? critics were appalled LOL

it is #WerewolfWednesday my dude which means its time for random werewolf trivia

Twitter screenshot.

Original post from user Isaiah, @irose_R2: "Native American werewolves defending their people from white colonial Vampires is a concept that deserved a lot more than being in a Twilight book"

Quote retweet from user tah @tahtheleagster: "i am once again mourning the loss of the first werewolf movie from 1913 (all copies destroyed in a warehouse fire) in which a navajo woman and her daughter turn into wolves to chew on white colonial settlers because i do wish to see it"
