The Wolf Man (1941) established virtually every werewolf rule modern audiences take for granted: the full moon transformation, silver as a weakness, and the tragic curse passed through a bite. Lon Chaney Jr. delivers a genuinely sympathetic performance as Larry Talbot, a man desperate to escape a fate he never chose, creating horror's most tormented monster. Jack Pierce's werewolf makeup required five hours to apply and three hours to remove, with Chaney reportedly falling asleep in the chair while yak hair was glued to his face piece by piece. The film's poem—"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright"—became iconic despite being invented for the movie.
