[edit] Legacy Conflict

According to this article, this movie invented the concept of "the werewolf's forced shapeshifting under a full moon", but Werewolf of London's plot description contains a forced transformation under false and real moonlight, and that movie predates this one by six years. So maybe it should be getting the props for that invention? --Cap97 19:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Universal Legacy Collection

I edited the totally messed-up Universal Legacy Collection section of the article. I included the films featured in this collection and the bonus features.

[edit] Merge tag

For some reason, the merge discussion has been happening at Talk:The Wolf Man (remake) instead of here, where the merge tag points you for discussion. For the record, I'll repeat my vote here, which is No Merge. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 15:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separate Page

I think that a separate page should be made for the men who have become the Wolf Man & for what abilities a person gains as the Wolf Man all in the same page. Son of Kong —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.69.137.15 (talk) 05:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Wolf Man.jpg

Image:The Wolf Man.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Silver Bullets

Contrary to what this article says and what many people confidently believe, the idea that silver bullets are the way to despatch a werewolf was not originated in this film. An earlier example occurs in Alfred H. Bill's werewolf novel The Wolf in the Garden published in 1931, and there may be yet earlier ones. Colin4C (talk) 14:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
