Maria Ouspenskaya, who plays the gypsy woman who warns Lon Chaney, Jr. of his fate comes to the aid of the monster as he lies on the moors. Chaney only appears as the Wolf Man in two scene cards from this set; yet these cards are among the most desirable in the Universal horror series.

Universal Studios was in dire financial troubles by the early 1940s and though their wish was to remove themselves from the horror film cycle, wiser heads prevailed.They had made a pocketful of money with the franchise and they realized it was their only surefire money maker. Thus they needed a new horror star and Lon Chaney Jr. had proven himself up to the task. This film would become a big hit for the studio and revived the horror cycle for another ten years. Starring not only Chaney but Claude Rains, Bela Lugosi and Warren William, the film is a masterwork of eerie cinematography and a wonderful musical score.

Although Universal was unsure about the American public's desire for horror movies following the attack on Pearl Harbor, The Wolf Man became a top grossing film for the studio in 1942. In one of the key scenes of this top notch Universal horror classic and one of only two scene cards to picture Chaney in make-up, Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya) comes to care for the wounded Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.).   What most fans don't know is that Chaney's makeup took six hours to apply and three to remove!
