Wissenswertes
This is the only werewolf film made by "Hammer Studios."

Patzer
During the feast a band is playing which contains a modern, valved trumpet. Valves were not introduced on trumpets until the early/mid-19th century. Natural trumpets with no valves would have been historically correct.

Zitate
Leon: Father, the bullet. Pepe the watchman has a silver bullet. Get it and use it. Use it on me, father! You must use it -- do you hear? You must use it! You must!

Alternative Versionen
Original video releases blot out the Technicolor credit line with a black bar. The credit is visible on the DVD version.

How (or is that "howl") did they always come up with something so neat?

I think that more than anything, "The Curse of the Werewolf" does what too many werewolf movies fail to do: offer an explanation of how the first werewolf got created. Apparently, if someone is conceived under rather unpleasant circumstances, that person is a lycanthrope. After a beggar gets imprisoned in 18th century Spain, he rapes the jailer's daughter. She dies in childbirth, but her son Leon is raised by a nobleman. Sure enough, Leon is a werewolf. As an adult, Leon (Oliver Reed) tries to control himself, but unfortunately can't.

This is another addition to Hammer's cool filmography. It shows Leon's inner torment, knowing what will happen every full moon. As for associating Spain with werewolves, that country of course produced actor Paul Naschy, who has made a career out of playing werewolves; Portland's own Movie Madness even has a section devoted to him.
