Did You Know?
| Trivia | This film made up much of its werewolf mythology out of whole cloth. The ideas that being bitten by a werewolf makes one a werewolf, that a werewolf changes under the full moon, and that werewolves were wolf/man hybrids were completely made up. In folklore, one becomes a werewolf deliberately by practicing witchcraft and can change into a wolf at any time desired. However, this film's mythology, and that of others after it, heavily influenced pop culture views of werewolves to the point that these are now regarded as "official" mythology. See more » |
| Goofs | Multiple characters use the term "lycantrophobia" as the "medical term for werewolfery". The suffix "-phobia" is used to mark an irrational fear of something, so this usage actually means "a fear of turning into a werewolf". The correct term is "lycanthropy". See more » |

The werewolf is neither man nor wolf, but a Satanic creature with the worst qualities of both. See more » |
