The listing, THE WOLF MAN 1941 Lon Chaney Jr. Movie Digital HD Ultraviolet Code has ended.

Code is from the blu-ray I just got.

"Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself."

Take a moment and imagine what modern horror would be without Universal Pictures. Without founder Carl Laemmle and his vision for the future of cinema, or his son Carl Laemmle Jr., who inherited the keys to the studio kingdom in 1928, when talkies were rapidly displacing silent films and promising groundbreaking new strides in moviemaking and the movie-going experience. Without early horror pioneers like Tod Browning, James Whale, Karl Freund, George Waggner or Jack Arnold. Without iconic creature actors Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Claude Rains, Lon Chaney, Jr., Elsa Lanchester or Ben Chapman. Without Dracula, the indispensable 1931 classic that left a more lasting mark on vampire movies and lore than any other vampire film before or after (save Nosferatu). Or Frankenstein, which pushed boundaries, shocked audiences and has been received with overwhelming enthusiasm ever since. The Mummy, bold in its atmosphere and unforgettable in its tragic romance. The Invisible Man, which features some of the most astonishing special effects and perhaps one of the most unnerving depictions of mounting madness of the era. The Bride of Frankenstein, a complex, wickedly funny, altogether unpredictable sequel that in many regards surpasses its predecessor. The Wolf Man, a once-chilling character drama that examines the frailty of man and the beast within. Phantom of the Opera, though more a twisted love story than a traditional horror picture, a film that nevertheless caused some theaters to stock smelling salts in in the event that a moviegoer fainted upon the removal of the Phantom's mask. Or Creature from the Black Lagoon, which frightened audiences above the water and below with a scaly monster unlike any they had seen before. Needless to say, modern horror, and really the genre in whole, would be completely different than what we know.

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright. The sixth horror classic in the Essentials Collection remains one of the most recognized to this day: director/producer George Waggner's The Wolf Man, starring then-unappreciated talent Lon Chaney, Jr. as Larry Talbot, a man who undergoes startling transformations after being attacked by a werewolf, Claude Rains as his elderly father, Evelyn Ankers as Gwen, the woman who catches his eye but the Wolf Man's appetite, Maria Ouspenskaya as the fortune-teller with a dark secret, and Bela Lugosi as her cursed son. The film is more memorable for Chaney's human performance than his late-in-the-game furry faced antics, rendering The Wolf Man an sometimes uneven curiosity; confident when poor Talbot is feeling anything but, uncertain when the beast is on the prowl. That doesn't mean it detracts from the movie, though, particularly since Waggner and company are far more interested in exploring Talbot's soul-searching and inward turmoil than his turn to the dark side, which doesn't culminate until the last ten minutes of the film. It's ironic that one of Universal's most untamed, vicious beasts has become -- in retrospect, and far removed from the sheer terror I'm sure the creature stirred up in audiences in 1941 -- one of the studio's least scary. Horror lies in the hidden, the unknown, the shadows and, above all, monsters that require more than a swift beating with a silver-tipped cane to go down. Everything the movie relishes in until those closing moments. Blasphemy? No matter. The Wolf Man may be growing long in the tooth, but age can't unseat one of the greats from its throne. I still found it immensely enjoyable, even when I began to realize just how much scarier it would have struck me had I wandered into a theater in the early '40s unaware.
