Werewolf of London, produced by Universal Pictures, is recognized as the first feature-length film to explore lycanthropy. It tells the story of Dr. Wilfred Glendon, a botanist who, after being bitten by a humanoid creature in Tibet, faces a horrific transformation into a werewolf unless he can use a rare plant to control it. The film intricately weaves elements of fear and love as Glendon must protect his wife from the violent urges that accompany his new identity. The dynamic of featuring two werewolves, Glendon and Yogami, adds a unique twist to the typical horror narrative.
