In both the 1941 and 2010 films, the monster has a classic werewolf appearance.
Wolf Man, released on January 15, 2025, follows Blake and his wife Charlotte as they visit his secluded childhood home in rural Oregon. After a mysterious animal attack, they become trapped inside, and Charlotte is forced to confront Blake’s disturbing transformation amidst growing tension and fear.
In these films, the entirety of the Wolf Man’s face is covered with hair.
