The Wolfman, 400ft U8 b/w Sound

One of the many U8 classic horror films to get a super 8 release, while this edit starts quite a way into the feature film, it is still a good version and well edited together.
Again, this title has been well covered by other collectors but here, with the help of wiki is a briefing of the this title,

The Wolf Man is a 1941 American horror film written by Curt Siodmak and produced and directed by George Waggner. The film stars Lon Chaney Jr. in the title role. Claude Rains, Warren William, Ralph Bellamy, Patric Knowles, Bela Lugosi, Evelyn Ankers, and Maria Ouspenskaya star in supporting roles. The title character has had a great deal of influence on Hollywood's depictions of the legend of the werewolf. The film is the second Universal Pictures werewolf film, preceded six years earlier by the less commercially successful Werewolf of London (1935). This film is part of the Universal Monsters movies and is of great cinematic acclaim for its production.
After this movie's success, Lon Chaney Jr. would reprise his classic role as "The Wolf Man" in four sequels, beginning with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man in 1943.

The print is very good and like most of the U8 releases, the image is very sharp with good contrast and very good sound. My only gripe with these classic Universal monster movies is why they were only released as 400ft versions when they all deserved to be a part of the 2 x 400ft releases, the same goes for their 400ft version of Psycho. Many missed opportunities for the 8mm collector.
