The Company of Wolves is a 1984 British gothic fantasy horror film directed by Neil Jordan and starring Angela Lansbury, David Warner, Micha Bergese, and Sarah Patterson in her film debut. The screenplay by Angela Carter and Jordan was adapted from her 1979 short story of the same name.[4]
Angela Carter ... told me she was interested in bringing one of the short stories in The Bloody Chamber to the screen....The story is only 12 pages long, so we built upon it in layers.
