A rare and exclusive first look at Universal Pictures' highly anticipated re-imagining of the genre classic, The Wolfman, will debut at Universal Studios Hollywood's "Halloween Horror Nights" as part of the theme park's unique "Terror Tram."

The "Terror Tram: The Nightmare Tour" -- which expands this year to double the length of previous Halloween tram experiences -- will offer an exclusive preview of The Wolfman on the tram's LED screens.

"The Terror Tram" experience will take guests off the familiar studio tram and lead them on foot past such infamous landmarks as the Bates Motel and Psycho House and into remote and menacing locations of Universal's legendary backlot. For the first time ever, the "Terror Tram" will also incorporate a series of spine-chilling mazes as part of the trek through the timeless sets from Psycho, and the tortured landscape of War of the Worlds set into an unforgettable experience that will raise the bar of terror to a level that only an authentic Hollywood studio can equal.

Issuing a dare to "Live Your Worst Nightmare," Universal Studios Hollywood has ratcheted up the intensity level to present a new "Halloween Horror Nights" for 2008. This year's event will pair Hollywood's top entertainment scenic and special effects artists with a cast of thousands to create terrifying new experiences including a bloodcurdling new Nightmare on Elm Street maze, all contributing to Southern California's most intense Halloween experience.

"Halloween Horror Nights" begins on Friday, October 3 and will extend over an expanded 13-night run concluding Saturday, November 1. Tickets to "Halloween Horror Nights" are on sale now at UniversalStudiosHollywood.com.

Halloween Horror Nights" will continue on consecutive weekends beginning on Friday, October 3 through Saturday, November 1. Event dates are: October 3-4, 10-11, 17-19, 24-26, 30-31 and November 1. The event will begin nightly at 7:00 p.m.; closing hours vary by night throughout the event.

Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, Universal Pictures, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother ... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. The Wolfman opens nationwide on April 3, 2009.

When I read your post, I laughed my head off, but then, I thought about it. Did they ever give a name Talbot's brother in the movie? I mean, what if he was connected not to Dracula, but to the Frankenstein monster? What if parts of Talbot's brother's body were used in creating the Frankenstein monster after he disappeared (and apparently died), and then when the monsters meet in another movie (i.e. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman) they have a "strange" bond, but then it hits Frankenstein that the Wolfman betrayed (his) the Talbot family and so they fight to the death. Sound like an okay plot???

No...No that sounds like an awful plot...and since that plot was so bad and you claim to be a Batman fan, its apparent that for starters you can't possibly be due to the fact that you don't care about a decent story...you should change your name to George Lucas

Mark Romanek dropped out because he wasn't allowed to make the film he wanted to make.

Joe "JURASSIC PARK 3" Johnston stepped in at the last minute.

The last time that happened we got X-MEN 3.

Prepare yourselves for mediocrity.
