If you think, the Wolf Man seems to kill humans implied to satisfied his hunger as some source material talk about. In this movie and the sequels he only kill by ripping off the humans's throats (a part of the body that most of predators attack first) and the only thing that interrupts eat them as he escapes after this, is because he hears or smells hunters coming. The novel Return of the Wolf Man, confirms that the Wolf Man is a human eater and implied that the werewolf killed many victims offscreen, men and women, and he ate them...
