The original Wolf Man and Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man were really the only reasons why I purchased this boxed set. The other movies were o.k.

Lon Chaney's wolf man hit a spot in my mind i thought no other werewolf film would do other than underworld,,for a man of my taste how can i fairly judge these 2 great werewolf films..I came to this conclusion: this is my own idea i thought of to help me connect this awesome movie with the underworld films..well considering that Chaney was bitten by a wolf (Bela) i came to the conclusion that Chaney could not fully transform into a wolf, just a half wolf half man. And the wolfs in underworld was caused by a virus that fully transformed the person infected into a savage beast.But please don't get me wrong the halfmanwolfs also have super strength and can run really fast and jump really high,,like the remake wolf demonstrated to us.
In my own conclusion to become a halfmanwolf you have to be bitten by a regular 4 legged mystical normal looking wolf..then that person bitten bites other people and turn them into halfmanwolfs...To become a savage underworld wolf you have to bitten by another wolf infected with the virus..The origin of the virus is unknown(Maybe Dr Frankenstein created it when he was playing god and accidentally leaked out....i'm going way ahead of myself here);;lol So all in all my friends i have found another number one film,,in my werewolf catogory..that goes by the name of "The Wolf Man"

For the lover of classic monster movies, this DVD set is a must see. I absolutely loved The Wolf Man, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, and Werewolf of London. (I shut off The She-Wolf of London half way through because it was rather boring.) The documentary about Universal's werewolf movies was very interesting and fun. This set provided for several hours of great entertainment

These are the very films that I grew up with-that I am growing up with. Ever since I got these movies I got a tone of information. She-Wolf of London was in it's own sense a movie with "Sherlock Holmes" theme. The Wolf Man films starring Lon Chaney Jr. are excellent. Alot of people don't get the hidden message in it, Me and a couple of other friends found a ton of stuff about it. My favorite scenes definatly where the wolf man goes into an insane fight while a flood is coming. And When Sir John Tablot and The Wolf Man Fight. Werewolf of London has aspects and themes from Dr. Jekkyll and Mr. Hyde. I think it's one of the best werewolf films. Here's my werewolf collection...
Curse of the Werewolf
Moon of the Wolf
The Fury of the Wolfman
This DVD
Dracula Legacy collection
Frankenstein Legacy collection
Werewolf of Washington
Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Wererabbit
and I was a teenage werewolf

I purchased a while ago some of the classic Black and White Universal Studio's "horror" films from the 1930s and 40s which Universal released under their special collection called "The Legacy Collection".
These collections were themed movies, about 4 to 6 films in each collection, that were focused around the one "big hit" and it's "sons of" features.
Wolf Man is a classic tale of man fighting his inner daemon. Staring the great Lon Chaney Jr., he presents us with the tortured soul Larry Talbot, who struggles with the beast within. A classic film, well worth it if you are a big Wolf Man fan.
The collection also includes "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man". While not as good as the original, it does come in a close second, with Bela Lugosi as the monster and Lon Chaney Jr. reprising his role as the Wolf Man. Again we are confronted with our inner beasts, and the constant struggle to keep them in place.
There is also "She Wolf of London" featuring of all people June Lockhart and the female of the species is on the loose in London. Actually, very bland.
These are all "Sons of" movies, featuring the spawn of the Wolf Man. The final movie is the original "Werewolf of London" which is also quite unremarkable. Not even the cast is worth mentioning as you probably will not recognize anyone. I didn't, and I am a big "old movie" fan.
Quality wise, these films are cleaned up, the sound is very good and overall the appearance of these films is remarkable. There are also extras, like the making of the film, theatrical trailers, stills, and film history. This is a two disk set with a double sided DVD.
These "collections" do contain some films that you will not find anywhere else, and if you are a big fan of the old Universal horror films, especially The Wolf Man, and cameos by classic actors, this collection will fill the bill. This one was a bit better in that it did have two classic movies well worth watching and owning this collection.
