Lon Chaney, Jr. as Larry Talbot in The Wolf Man

As a pretext to converse with Gwen, the girl he fell in love with, Larry Talbot purchases a silver-headed walking stick decorated with a wolf. Trying to rescue Gwen's friend Jenny from a werewolf, he is bitten in the process. On the first night of the full moon, Talbot transforms into a wolflike creature and stalks the village, first killing the local gravedigger. Talbot retains vague memories of being a werewolf and wanting to kill, and continually struggles to overcome his condition. He is finally bludgeoned to death by his father with his own silver walking stick. It’s regarded as the most touching werewolf movie in Hollywood.

Hugh Jackman as Gabriel Van Helsing in Van Helsing

Van Helsing was a vampire hunter and he led his team to fight the evil Dracula, during which he was bitten by a werewolf and turned into one when the next full moon occurred. In the end, he turned back into a human being after receiving the cure injection. Van Helsing is undoubtedly the representation of all that is positive. He is the man of knowledge who solves the mystery of the attacks on Lucy, a victim of Dracula; he is the fearless leader in the hunt to track down Dracula; he provides the moral inspiration to bolster the others as they contend with the horrors of the vampire.

David Thewlis as Remus Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Professor Remus Lupin was very intelligent, calm, tolerant, gentle, and good-natured. At an early age, Remus was bitten by a werewolf and became a werewolf himself. When it came to defending his friends and loved ones, Remus was selfless and courageous. He leaped between Harry and a Death Eater during the battle of the Department of Mysteries to protect Harry. Remus was also enraged when he learnt the truth about Peter Pettigrew, a friend of him and the Potters (Harry's parents), betraying Harry's parents to Voldemort, and was actually prepared to kill him for it, showing that he valued loyalty.
