Lon Chaney Jr. himself became somewhat typecast as the Wolfman and reprised his role in several sequels for Universal Studios. In these films, the werewolf lore of the first film was clarified. In "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943) it is firmly established that the Wolf Man is revived from the dead at a night of the full moon. In "The House of Frankenstein" (1944) silver bullets are used for the first time to dispatch him. Further sequels were the "House of Dracula" (1945) and the parodic "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948).
