On Jan. 17, the full moon rises once again to a new rendition of the classic “Wolf Man” story. The original Wolfman movie came out in 1941, over 30 years into the heyday of the original Universal Monster movie series. This is not the first time a Universal Monster has been brought out of the grave for a modern audience.
The original run lasted over 30+ movies from 1913-1956. Since then, more than a dozen reboots, spin-offs and sequels have come out, with each of them failing just as bad as the last one. Dracula alone has had three sequels, a prequel, two reboots and a Spanish version made.
Before the 2025 version of Wolf Man, there was “Werewolf of London”, “The Wolf Man”, “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man”, “She-Wolf of London” and a 2010 remake of the original film. This 2025 romp is just another zombie here to stumble its way through a poor box office.
