Image:Jack Pierce and Lon Chaney Jr..jpg

To show Chaney Jr. effectively wearing his iconic memorable werewolf make-up as it appeared in the 1943 Universal film "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman".

The image of the character from the world reknown DVD Universal Studios movies, the Wolfman monster. The Wolfman became an icon of pop culture after the release of the original Universal Lon Chaney Jr.film because of this image of the actor with the make-up making the image significantly educational for readers not familiar with the acting career of Chaney Jr. The make-up's creations have lasted for years without little change to Jack Pierce's original film work. To pay tribute to the man known as Jack Pierce and to bring his name back into the limelight where it is sadly lacking. This was the number one reason I have put a lot of effort into this article. It is of lower resolution than the original film (copies made from it will be of inferior quality). It represents a single frame from the film, comprising less than 1/20 of a second of the film's running time. No free or public domain images showing the actor in complete make-up exists from the film. It does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film in any way, since it is only one of many images of the character in the film. It is being used for informational purposes only by a non-profit organisation.
