He makes it home and creates an artificial source of moonlight in his lab in order to make Mariphasa bloom, after which he’s approached by Dr. Yogami (Warren Oland, creepy), a fellow botanist who claims they met in Tibet. Hull was cast after a star turn in Great Expectations the year before, with director Walker coming along as well. Inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Werewolf of London sought to position its monster as a scientist with dueling personalities. Distant and cold throughout the film, Hull’s Glendon is hard to sympathize with even during the movie’s tragic finale. Nine decades later, the title beast is still one of horror’s classic monsters — it seems this botanist did become world-famous, after all.
