The poem recited by villagers in the movie as folklore,
“Even a man who is pure at heart, and says his prayers by night; may become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms and the Autumn moon is bright”,
was actually written by screenwriter Curt Siodmak. The poem was used in many future werewolf productions.
