** Assuming you don't think Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein is canon as a [[HappyEndingOverride sequel]], the entirety of [[EarnYourHappyEnding Talbot being cured]] counts as one. Although its followed by the climatic battle with vampire Dr. Edelman, in between, we get to see Talbot's absolute joy as he's finally freed from his werewolf curse and able to stand in moonlight once more. What's more, there's a possibility he starts a relationship with Edelman's nurse when all is said and done.
