6. SQUEAKY REELS: [whispers] This one came out in 1925. Shhhhh!

Star George Chesebro co-directed this with Bruce Mitchell, and after the 1913 film The Werewolf, it would be the second werewolf movie ever made. It’s also more adventure than horror.

Dick Bannister (Cheesebro) is the new field boss of the Ford Logging Company, which is at war with the Consolidated Lumber Company. His boss, Miss Edith Ford (Marguerite Clayton), visits with her fiancé Dr. Horton (Raymond Hanford) just in time for Dick to get beaten unmerciful, which leads to him getting a transfusion from a wolf. This leads people to think that Dick might be a werewolf, but that isn’t the truth.

Don’t expect lycan antics and just enjoy it for what it is. I love that some reviewers talk about how ancient it looks and feels. Yes, it’s a hundred years old. Come on. It has none of the legend either, but that’s fine. It’s at least something to watch and see how far werewolf movies have come.

You can watch this on Tubi.
