The Curse of the Werewolf is a 1961 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Clifford Evans, Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain.[1] It was based on the novel The Werewolf of Paris by Guy Endore.[2] It was produced by Anthony Hinds for Hammer Film Productions.
The leading part of the werewolf was Oliver Reed's first starring role in a film and composer Benjamin Frankel's score is notable for its use of twelve-tone serialism, rare in film music.[3] It was the first werewolf film to be shot in colour.
