Master of horror Vincent Price stars in this gripping drama set in the Fenlands of East Anglia. Set in 1883, this is an original 90-minute gothic horror play about a prowling werewolf. Vincent Price plays Judge Matthew Deacon, who travels to Cambridge from Pennsylvania to search for evidence of his son Robert's fate. The Provost of King's College informs him that his son has committed suicide, but Robert's close friend reassures the judge by telling him that he would never take his own life.

The judge sets off to the Fenlands where he comes across the sinister Northcott family, who hold the key to Robert’s whereabouts. Night Of The Wolf was written specifically for Radio 4’s Saturday Night Theatre by writer/television producer Victor Pemberton, whose credits range from Doctor Who to Fraggle Rock. This drama also stars Vincent Price’s wife, the colourful Coral Browne, whom he met when they co-starred in Theatre of Blood.

Directed by John Tydeman, featuring special effects by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Night of the Wolf was originally broadcast on BBC Radio’s Saturday Night Theatre on 9 August 1975. It was later issued on two 33rpm discs in the last week of December 1976, followed by audio cassette in 1984.
