What's left behind the scenes
- The 'wolf' the werewolf fights is a German Shepherd, and its owner was Chaney Jr., who also played the werewolf.
- According to Kurt Siodmak's original script (1902-2000), it was unclear whether the protagonist actually transformed into a werewolf, or if he only imagined it. The werewolf was not supposed to appear on screen at all. However, the studio decided that audiences would prefer a literal transformation of Talbot, and the script was rewritten accordingly.
- Evelyn Ankers (1918-1985) was terrified when a bear weighing nearly 300 kilograms (scenes with it were later cut from the film) stopped obeying the trainer and chased her up a ladder, where a duty electrician came to the actress's rescue.
- The forest with damp, fog-covered ground, where many key scenes of the film were shot, became one of the largest sets in the history of Universal Pictures at the time. It occupied the entire soundstage.
- Evelyn Ankers later recalled that during the filming of the final confrontation, her character was supposed to faint and lie motionless until the end of the fight between Lon Chaney Jr. (1906-1973) and Claude Rains (1889-1967). According to her, due to the chemicals in the fog, she actually lost consciousness during the shooting of one of the takes. When filming of the scene was finished, the film crew began to pack up the equipment, and the absence of Ankers, who was still lying unconscious, hidden by the fog, was not noticed immediately.
