	Movies - Werewolf of London

Werewolf of London was the first Hollywood werewolf movie, filmed in 1935 by Universal Pictures and featuring Henry Hull as Wilfred Glendon, a scientist bitten by a werewolf (played by Warner Oland) in Tibet. Jack Pierce's werewolf make-up was simpler than the version he devised six years later for The Wolf Man
but, according to film historians, remains strikingly effective as worn by Hull. The werewolf's howl was an audio blend of Hull and a recording of an actual timber wolf.

The movie was regarded at the time as too similar to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
with Fredric March, which had been released only three years before, and flopped at the box-office, but has been regarded by cinema historians as an imaginative classic.
