      One of the many films that Peter Cushing made about this time to help pay for the health treatments of his beloved wife, Helene. She would later die of emphysema in 1971.
    • Goofs
      When the person who was attacked is brought in a carriage to the police inspector and the professor, he moans. The police inspector says "I think he's still alive" even though he clearly sees that he is alive.
    • Quotes

      Inspector Quennell: The only time we have a witness to one of these murders and he's out of his mind.

    Highly Underrated Film
    I really see no different from this film and other horror films starring the great Peter Cushing. Nor do I see a difference in shape-shifting to a (were)wolf or a moth or a bat - it's still horror and this one is done tastefully as I would expect from a Peter Cushing film of this time era.

    Beautiful Gothic imagery, a good suspenseful inspector/detective story blended in quite well with the horror we see on screen. I love some of the music in this film as well - works quite well - eerie sounding. The acting is good - it's as if the actors really believe they are the characters and this really is happening - just the way it is suppose to be, very convincing.

    Good late night film - I quite enjoyed this one.

    8.5/10
