The Wolf Man

The Wolfman saw its first theatrical film release in 1924, spawning countless remakes. Most are based on the mythological legend/folk lore of individuals who are able to shapeshift into a wolf. These transformations are often brought about by the appearance of a full Moon, and are caused by a curse or being bitten or scratched by another werewolf.

The werewolves of modern folklore have adapted from their earlier predecessors, becoming vulenarable from silver bullets, and retaining powers while in their human form.

The legendary creature has been referenced by the Muppets on mulitple occassions.
