Friday's Fright Film Fact

Much of the Hollywood folklore regarding werewolves and wolf men can be attributed to Curt Siodmak’s screenplay for The Wolf Man (1941). Many of the modern myths concerning werewolves, such as a person becoming werewolf after being bitten by one, changing into a werewolf during a full moon, the concept of a silver bullet being the only way to kill a werewolf and the famous poem repeated throughout the film were all the products for Siodmak’s imagination.
