Well, first, John Fulton did that amazing "walking transformation" scene that seems to be one continuous shot but is really several shots joined together, with the pillars going by as a separate element to cover the edits. It's cooler and freakier, I think, than any of the basic Lon Chaney werewolf transformations. So this movie gets BIG BIG points for one kickass transformation IMO. (Henry Hull's werewolf makeup also looks pretty demonic and scary.)
The werewolf dresses up, puts on a hat even, before going out. You know, so he'll blend in. It's cool.
The scene with the fake British people admiring the carnivorous plant exhibit is hilarious. Most people would never go anywhere near plants that are moving and waving giant tentacles around. I wouldn't. Would you? I didn't think so. Weird scene.
This is a neat movie showing how hard Universal was trying to find an interesting werewolf movie concept.
