Retro Trailer: The Wolfman (1941)

With recent news that the remake of "The Wolfman" has garnered a (surprising) R Rating for graphic violence, let's take a look back at the original. 1941 saw the release of "The Wolf Man", starring stuntman and effects wizard Lon Chaney Jr. Although Chaney starred as the titular beast, many forget that the film featured another horror legend, Bela Lugosi as the not-so-subtly named character "Bela". The film also featured the wonderfully alliterative tagline, "His hideous howl a dirge of death!".

The remake of "The Wolf Man" is currently set to be released February 12th, 2010.
