A Heart Beneath the Fur

Wolf Man...you're my favorite! You didn't choose your violent destiny! It's not your fault that you were bitten by a ravenous wolf; which, unfortunately, turned you into the same during every relentless, full moon.

You, as a man, Larry Talbot (nice looking I might add), with decency and sincerity, tried to warn people that you needed to be locked up, behind closed doors, to keep you from killing innocent people, who may just be in your fateful path. It's not your fault that mankind thought you were crazy! Your acting like a lunatic did you no good!

Sadly, Larry Talbot, aka Wolf Man, you met with a fatal silver bullet. Ironically, that shot was fired, by Gwen, the woman you loved, while you were under the guise of being a wolf in a running pursuit of a frantic and scared woman.

Even in the end, you wouldn't and couldn't hurt Gwen, because you had a gentle heart hidden under that furry exterior; and, you took that final blow as a true testament to your love for her.

So, sadly, I say goodbye, Larry Talbot, aka Wolf Man; your tragic love story lives on in the hearts of those who love the classic, black-and-white horror movies...like me and many, many others Rest in peace, my misunderstood, furry friend.
