Uh... nice doggie..?
- Larry attacking Gwen at the end of the movie. By now any semblance of his normal self is completely gone, and replaced by a vicious monster guided solely by bloodlust. Thanks to God that Sir John comes with the silver cane before he bites her head off.
- The werewolf attack that kicks off the whole plot. We only get brief glimpses of the wolf, most notably when it is appears to be chewing (or feeding) on Jenny's corpse. During the ensuing struggle between Larry and the wolf, Larry manages to get the upper hand and proceeds to bash the wolf repeatedly with his cane. The fact that the last part takes place offscreen only makes things worse.
- We never really get a good look at Jenny's corpse, either. All we have to go on in regards to the state of her body is Twiddle's traumatized "Her throat, sir!"
- This is more terrifing in "Carl Dreadstone"s novelization, where Werewolf! Bela's bite was so strong that she was almost decapitated. Even Sir John vomits when he see her mangled corpse.
- The growls. They sound completely inhuman and much less like an actual wolf, but the horrible result of a being between man and wolf.
- Larry's first time as a werewolf and his first kill. First of all, he looks like a humanoid beast: non man, non wolf. Later he seems to sniff something and sees his human prey, a gravedigger. Richardson looks at him, and he is bitten savagely in the throat. Later the townspeople find his mauled body with clues of a giant wolf.
- Imagine that you are Richardson. You take a break from digging Jenny's tomb. You hear a howl and see a thing with beast features but dressed in human clothes. The thing looks like a canine monster — you see its features — and makes strange inhuman sounds as it approaches you in a predatory way in the night. It grabs you with inhuman strength and restrains you like a human you can't escape because of your shock, fear, and its strength, and the last thing in the world that you feel are its sharp teeth tearing your throat. As your life flees you, you have no idea what this animal is, what will happen to those you left behind...and if this thing will find them, too. Yes, the Wolf Man is an example of many primal fears.
- Some moments in "Carl Dreadstone's novelization":
- In contrast with Larry Talbot's portrayal in the movie, being a stalker, but also pleasant, Larry's novelization version is constantly...moody, serious, more agressive and without his pleasant character in the movie. We can say that his novelization counterpart was already a wolf before he gets bitten.
- As we see above, Werewolf! Bela, bites Jenny so hard that she was almost decapitated.
- Larry's fight as human with a bear. Even in his human form, he acted so bestial...
- At the end, Sir John hits the apparently invulnerable monster with its only weakness: silver. Specifically and ironically, Larry's own silver cane. And the Wolf Man was brained off by the brutal wounds, and he turns into Larry's more brutalized body. And in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, Larry will be back for more.
