Trivia
Probably to save time and/or money, shots of the werewolf fleeing the posse near the climax, were shot "day-for-night" while the posse shots were filmed during real nighttime. See more »Goofs
After the werewolf is caught in and escapes from the bear trap Sheriff Haines tells Dr. Gilcrist and Amy that their was blood found in the snow around the area of the trap. But when the werewolf is shown escaping from the trap there is no snow. Even as he hobbles away there is no snow any where in the area. Several times when up in the mountains there is heavy snow and then a short distance away the snow stops and the ground is dry. See more »Quotes

This film scared the pants off me as a kid (which I loved!) and when I finally found it again and watched it as an adult I was pleasantly surprised to find that I still enjoy it. And parts of it, namely the cave sequence and the fight in the dark alley, still give me the creeps. I found this werewolf much scarier than Chaney Jr.'s version. Steven Ritch's portrayal has a wildness and rawness to it that gives his lycanthrope that extra edge. Watch how he drools as he sinks his fangs into that hunk of bait in the woods, for instance. Oh, there are a few flaws... and I find the scene at the doctors' lab very long, talky and dull... but all in all I'd recommend this to any classic horror film buff. Well done. Hard to believe something of actual quality was produced by the same man responsible for "The Giant Claw"!
