The Werewolf (1956)

Updating a horror staple to the Atomic Age, this moody chiller stars Steven Ritch (Murder by Contract) as an auto-accident survivor who's used by two scientists as a subject for their experiments to create a vaccine for nuclear fall-out. Unfortunately, it has a rather hairy side effect. Another solid effort from director Fred F. Sears, with Don Megowan (The Creature Walks Among Us), Joyce Holden (Terror From The Year 5000) and Harry Lauter (It Came From Beneath The Sea), as well as some beautiful locations at Big Bear Lake. © 1956, renewed 1984 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.
