Does anyone remember the "Mariphasa Lupino Lumino," or whatever it was called--that flower that could temporarily change the werewolf back into a decent human being? I liked that, even though it was pretty much made up for the movie, "WEREWOLF OF LONDON" (1935).

Oh, man! I remember we used to have some scary books in the school library when I was a wee lad. Back then (in the 70's), "horror" was still considered "kids' stuff," so a lot of really hardcore shit would wind up in the kids' sections of the library by accident, and the kids would take this stuff home and read it and have horrible nightmares.

I remember there were a couple of books specifically about werewolves, different ways of becoming a werewolf and what werewolves did etc.; and these were pretty bad. Scholastic Books published a 75 cent book called "Meet the Werewolf" which featured some really graphic descriptions, like how it sounded when werewolves would gnaw on crunchy human bones, and so on. Cute kiddie stuff like that! A don't think Scholastic would put something like that out nowadays.
