Critic Reviews:
- " The Wolf Man serves its horror straight. A very substantial cast undertakes to sell believably a tale of superstitious folklore. " – THR Staff
- " Ironically, The Wolf Man is stronger and creepier in the scenes without the wolf man. " – Daniel Barnes
- " This Universal classic not only established Lon Chaney Jr as a horror star but also instigated most of the cinematic werewolf lore concerning pentagrams, the Moon and the fatality of silver. " – Alan Jones
