I'm also one of many who feels the new make-up makes perfect sense : re-inventing the classic look, taking it further with total respect for Jack Pierce, kind of like the Wolf Man on steroids, with enhanced elements like the lower jaw, brow area, and general ferocity of this man/wolf mutation. Newbie designs may have been overboard, too extreme, but this make-up is somewhat less is more, though not lacking in the least, and by doing so...enhancing the fear factor.

I have always wondered why Pierce didn't have some ear tips on Chaney, as he gave them to Henry Hull; and some subtle upper teeth too, but fangs are something absent from some of the other classics too.

Sorry for going on about this , but this character/movie is huge for me; it's like being a little kid in the 70's discovering it all again !

Also it makes me wonder about what the Wolf Man will sound like ? The 40's movies all to often had orchestra strings and brass kind of drowning out the Chaney growls, or what I assume were Chaneys growls. I wonder if the growls for this film will be some kind of amalgamation of wild animals, like they did for Chewbacca, etc.
