Every Universal Wolf Man Movie, Ranked
In the initial version of “The Wolf Man”, we are introduced to Larry Talbot (portrayed by Lon Chaney Jr.). He’s back in his Welsh family home and dismisses the local folklore about werewolves, until he gets bitten. Despite his character dying in most sequels, Chaney appeared in four of them. These films, such as “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man”, “House of Frankenstein”, “House of Dracula”, and “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”, were a series of movies where the Wolf Man faced off against other Universal Monsters. After this series concluded, there was no more focus on Talbot for over 60 years, until the 2010 remake titled “The Wolfman” featuring Benicio del Toro. Now, Universal is rebooting the franchise with Leigh Whannell’s “Wolf Man”, a modern take that omits the definite article from the title. The werewolf portrayed by Christopher Abbott isn’t Larry Talbot, but he’s still a monster of the Universal Studios family.
