Werewolf of London is a werewolf movie starring Henry Hull and produced in 1935 by Universal Pictures. Jack Pierce's eerie werewolf make-up was simpler than his version six years later for Lon Chaney in The Wolf Man but, according to film historians, remains strikingly effective as worn by Hull.
Werewolf of London was the first Hollywood mainstream werewolf movie and is the oldest extant werewolf movie; it was preceded by the lost The Werewolf (1913).
@YungReg88 Giant Ape movies? Too bad they were lost. It would've been interesting to compare them to "King Kong."

Valerie Hobson was also Miss Havisham in "Great Expectations" of 1936.

@tjatawol: Yea, but everywhere I looked it said the film was lost in a fire back in 1924. There were also two "Giant Ape" movies that were made in Japan around the 1930's but unfortunately, I read that they too were lost :(

So the 1913 silent film has been lost huh? Have you done any more research on it?

Amazing. I've never heard of this one. I always thought the one starring Lon Chaney was the first Wolfman movie. Too bad about the one made in 1913. I really wanted to see that one.
