Universal Home Video has just unveiled the next entry in their classic horror line-up. On November 2, the 1941 The Wolfman is taking shape on DVD in the form of Lon Chaney Jr.

Long rare and unavailable on VHS and Laserdisc for the longest time, this excellent gothic horror film boasts an incredible cast including horror icons Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, and Claude Rains.

Like the other classic horror releases from Universal Home Video, this one will also feature a documentary by Universal horror specialist David J. Skal, a full length audio commentary track and the film’s original trailer.

“The Wolfman” will be released on November 2 and will carry a suggested retail price of $29.98.
