A quote from the 1941 The Wolf Man:
"Anything can happen in a person's mind."
The brain is a powerful thing and can even produce delusions.
The original concept was that Larry Talbot only 'saw himself' as a werewolf, with fur and fangs and claws...with no physical transformation ever happening, except in his own mind. A wise script writer, no doubt with support from the director, as well as the studio, decided that a physical transformation from man to lycanthrope would happen. With the genius of make up man Jack Pierce, and the great acting by Lon Chaney Jr. The Wolf Man was born.
