Better Werewolf: Lon Chaney Jr or Oliver Reed?
I'm a big fan of Hammer and really like Curse Of The Werewolf. Oliver Reed was very good and I felt sorry for him throughout the entire picture. I like The Wolf Man but didn't feel the sympathy for Chaney Jr as he seemed kinda like a lecherous drunk.

Oliver Reed, because he was so tormented about being a Werewolf.

Re: Better Werewolf: Lon Chaney Jr or Oliver Reed?
Imagine Lon Chaney Sr instead of Jr in The Wolf Man. I woulda loved to see that. Senior was a genius who knew no bounds. His folks were deaf which gave him an advantage with the non-verbals. Tod Browning originally had him planned to play Dracula as he was beyond creepy in London After Midnight. Unfortunately his health would not allow for it and Bela was doing the stage performance for Dracula. Bela was very good and I take nothing away from him.
Look at Chaney Sr here.

Bela was an excellent Dracula.

Is it fair to say that Sir Chaney did not have the luxury of updated improved costume/makeup effect that Reed eventually did in his rea of time ? That would be like comparing Reed to American Werewolf in London.

Re: Better Werewolf: Lon Chaney Jr or Oliver Reed?
Yes , let us not forget Chaney senior and all those great silent films of the 1920's.
Reed was probably the better werewolf , but I have a soft spot for the Universal 1941 "The Wolf Man" , with Chaney, Jr. , Bela Lugosi and Maria Ouspenskata.
Also loved this guy ,Warren Zevon and "Werewolves Of London" ,one of my all-time favorite rock tunes , but that's a whole different subject. Just thought some of us might enjoy hearing it again to go with this thread.
