I'd often seen pictures of Kerwin Matthews as the werewolf, but the movie never aired in my area (we did get the Werewolf of Woodstock though). I always have loved the werewolf/wolfman the most out of all the classic monsters, so I always did want to see it. As I got older though it kind of fell off my radar and I never really made it any kind of priority to find and watch it. I thought I'd wait til it aired again, Which it never really did. for a long time, though I do believe there was a DVD of it put out at some point. I don't know why, but there were other things I would have rather watched. I am pretty sure I would have liked it as a kid though.
Since Svengoolie aired it tonight there was a perfect time to finally see it. I liked what I saw, thought it was well directed and the acting was fine. Sven seemed to think the acting was bad throughout but I thought it was serviceable. I mean, it's a werewolf movie. The makeup was very good, I liked how the werewolf had a snout. It's a more unique than the traditional wolfman. I didn't see who did the make up though.
I wouldn't call it a great werewolf movie, but it was enjoyable. I missed any of the background stuff Sven usually does, the fun movie trivia. I thought this might have been an inspiration for Marvel's fun Werewolf by Night series, but it predates this movie by almost a year.
