Werewolves on the X-Files

Believe it or not, there have been werewolves on The X-Files; probably one of the best television shows to ever invade late night TV. At least, it was until it became more like a soap opera, with a lot of sexual tension radiating between Scully and Moulder. I really like the more self-contained episodes a…

Review: The Pound

The Pound is an upcoming comic from Frozen Beach Studios about Cleveland Animal Control Specialists Scott Allison and Howard Lynch. The two have lost their jobs due to budget cuts and decide to start their own private stray animal retrieval business – The Pound. At first it’s business as usual – retrieving a mother raccoon…

They’re releasing trailers now, yay! There are three, and MTV is very proud of its babies; the new videos are popping up all over the place, and they’re definitely hot. They give a sneak peek into what the werewolves of the new show ‘Teen Wolf’, will look like, as well as into the actors, and…

April Fool’s Came Early in Chicago with Rampant Werewolves on Campus

Due to error in scheduling, someone ended up publishing a post that was meant for April 1st; wait to go, guys! But the up-side of all this is that we get to see a hilarious post about the werewolves on the UIC campus, on the full moon of March 19th. As some of you may…

Hurray for free. According to the Bite Fight Facebook page: “The struggle between Vampires and Werewolves has been rampaging for centuries. It`s…

Time to save your pennies classic horror fans! The film follows Dr. Edmund Redding, a man who is experimenting in hypnotic regression…

Lobos de Arga (Party of Wolves) Coming Soon!

We love our werewolf movies over here, and there’s a new one coming out of Spain very shortly; according to new information on the web, filming and production are wrapping up. Which means that it’ll be out there in the world that much faster! Because god knows, we have to wait forever to get foreign…

Red Riding Hood: Finally, A Good Review

I was holding off on watching this movie, for god, like, ages. Everyone was constantly going on and on about how crappy it was. Well. They suck. That’s right, fellow movie reviewing bloggers, you suck. First off, maybe it has to do with my weird underdog thing; I wanted Agent Starling to be with Hannibal…

Exclusive Interview with Author Larry Kerr

I’ve got quite a treat for you guys today, an interview with author Larry Kerr! While he is fairly new to the book scene, he is by no means new to writing. After graduating from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania and attending graduate school at Penn State he was a reporter/photographer at two small newspapers…

Werewolves Return to Mystic Falls… Are We Happy to See Them?

I love the werewolf mythos in the Vampire Diaries show, I love the actors who portray the werewolves, love the story surrounding them, their powers, abilities, –all that happy shit. What I do not like, is that for the billionth and half time, the show’s producers tried to effectively cut costs and funds, by using…

New Werewolf on Latest Episode of Being Human

We don’t actually do a lot of Being Human reviews, and we certainly don’t review every show, but once in a while, there’s a really werewolf concentric episode of one of our favorite shows, and we can’t help but give props. That would be the cause for the sudden focus on SyFy’s Being Human, –this…

Review: Paranormal Mystery Squad

When I first heard about the comic Vampire Cheerleaders, I figured it was nothing more than a manga featuring hot vampire chicks, but then I got my hands on a copy and it turns out that I was so very wrong. On top of containing a hilarious story about vampires (read my review here), it…

Retro-Review: Kolchak’s “Werewolf” on NetFlix

If you’re looking for old shows, for the sake of nostalgia, then you’ll love my latest treasure on NetFlix’s WatchInstantly tab. Seriously. Okay, maybe a lot of you would prefer to keep the 70s as a distant memory; bell-bottoms, unthinkable music gaining unprecedented popularity, and shameful hair styles. But! There was a lot of really…

Wolves of a Different Color: Ray vs. Lee Tully

I love the werewolves in both of the Being Human series; there are variations in the poignancy of each show, but I’m really split on who was the better bad guy: Lee Tully, or Ray? See, neither were villains exactly, but they did do some pretty villainous things, –and the purpose of this post was…

Gamer Flashback: The Beast Within

It’s video game time! The Beast Within is a point-and-click computer adventure game that came out back in 1995. It’s actually the second game in the Gabriel Knight mystery series, however, the first game doesn’t have werewolves so it’s not worth mentioning (booo no werewolves). According to Gamespot.com: “The script weaves werewolf mythology and Bavarian…

Tomatoes Can Summon Werewolves, Give Psychic Powers, and the Ability to Fly

This has to be bullshit, is what I was thinking, seriously, when I saw this. But according to Wikipedia, where I checked my facts, it’s true. The scientific name for the tomato species of plant, is “lycopersicum” which means ‘wolf peach’. Naturally, this is where semantics come in, –the devil is in the details, you…

Exclusive Interview with Author Tess Oliver

I’ve got another glorious interview for you guys! Tess Oliver was kind enough to chat with me about her new young adult werewolf novel Camille, her werewolf loves and what other goodies we can expect from her. Check it out: Can you tell us a little about yourself? I’m a teacher who loves to write…

Wild Country: Half Teen Scream/Half Werewolf Movie

So, let me get this straight… in Scotland, Church Youth Clubs are something… teenagers want to be in? No no, I get it. But just wait, the premise for the film gets sillier, –Kelly, the main girl in the film, gives birth, as soon as the credits are over. Then later, the priest tells her…

SyFy’s Being Human Will Return for a Season 2!

I have to admit, I haven’t seen as much of the new show as I’d liked to have done. And I’ve only seen one episode of the new season of the original ‘Being Human’; which probably, officially, makes me a bad person. But there’s always so much other shit to do, I forget! Anyway, this…

Camille by Tess Oliver

While going through a list of new werewolf books I came across Camille by Tess Oliver and honestly, I nearly passed right over it, that is, until I saw that it has over forty amazing reviews, which is pretty impressive for a book that came out only a few weeks ago. So I decided to…

Werewolf Comedies to Add to Your Queue

Now, you might be thinking “what’s the deal with all the attention to NetFlix?” Well, usually, this is how it works: Moonlight writes the stuff that’s more philosophical and folklore oriented. I write the stuff that’s focused on werewolf news, and trends, and if there’s an overflow, she’ll pick up the stuff I missed. It’s…

NetFlix Retro-Review: Monster Dog 1985

I have been meaning to start this series of reviews for a while… NetFlix ‘Watch Instantly’ really keeps me busy, and they have a section just for old werewolf movies. I figured, for the rest of the NetFlix subscribers that are wary of digging deep into the recesses of the horror section, I might do…

What Makes Werewolves So Sexy?

If you go to a bookstore or scan Amazon you’ll be sure to notice that the majority of werewolf books are romance novels. This got me thinking – why in the world are werewolves the subject of so many romances? What makes a werewolf sexy or romantic? What is it about them that draw women…

Werewolf Doll Sparks Controversy

Oh, god, really? Remember when the whiners got ahold of Barbie, and tried to make her more proportionate, –and more like a “real woman” than some over-sexualized version of what a woman should look like? Right, well, that argument is old, and I would have liked to think we were past all that. But then…

Werewolves Need Love Too

Spending as much time as I do online you’d think that nothing would surprise me anymore, that I have seen all of the shady things the internet has to offer, but nope, it continues to catch me off guard every now and then. Like today, while scanning the net for werewolf-tastic goodies I came across…
