Post-production Continuity and dialogue script for the 1946 film. Phyllis Allenby (Lockhart) has an ancient curse on her family, cast by a pack of wolves. After a series of local murders, she is convinced she and her werewolf curse are to blame, for she finds her belongings muddied, torn, and streaked with blood almost every morning. A greedy aunt eventually confesses to framing Phyllis (in attempt to retain the Allenby's family fortune), and suddenly dies by falling down a flight of stairs and onto a knife. With all the right elements of atmosphere, eerie stringed instrumentation as the score, and impeccable effects, the film was not well received. Stands unique in the werewolf pantheon, with a woman as the accursed, and no werewolf actually seen.

He arrives home after a late night at the office to discover his wife has been murdered, a death by asphyxiation, with Wayne as the suspect. With the help psychic Julian Julian (Bromberg), the police investigate the murder. The psychic's motives are questionable, but he says he can contact Wayne's dead wife. At a seance to reach Vivian's spirit, the reluctant Wayne hears what he thinks is her voice but discovers Julian Julian in the shadows and accuses him of conspiracy.
