Hull has played some weird roles in his stage and screen experience, but never has ;he portrayed such a sensational and ’spine-chilling character as in this film which is described as the greatest hor|ror picture ever placed upon the screen. It is based on the legend of the werewolf, a creature half man and half wolf which becomes transformed into a man-killing beast each jmonth during the full of the moon.
