I remember even as a small boy, when I ordered a book on cryptids from one of those through-the-schools book clubs (Y’all remember those?), how distasteful I found it when I read the accounts of the demise of the infamous “Minnesota Iceman.” This woman claimed that she shot the creature after it sexually assaulted her.…

It would have been tough for them to top last week’s episode, “First Shot a Winner, Lads,” which featured the on-ship attack sequence with the monster climbing the rigging, but damn if this week’s episode didn’t do it. For those who’ve read the book, this is the carnival sequence. Yes, they’ve shuffled things around. In…

It’s a near-ubiquitous rule that, if you’re doing a monster movie, you shouldn’t show you monster too often, lest it lose its scariness. Unless what you’re going for is a more goofy feel, something like we have in the wonderful OCTAMAN, or in any one of the many cheeseball Godzilla flicks. Monster lovers like me…

Tyler Posey of MTV’s TEEN WOLF was pimping his new Horror flick TRUTH OR DARE to Yahoo Entertainment, and he made mention of some interesting connections between himself and the star of the 80s “classic” TEEN WOLF TOO, which starred Jason Bateman, who was highly marketable at the time due to the success of his…

Sure, we all know the new AMC series THE TERROR, based on the novel by Dan Simmons, is based on actual historical events. The title of the show, and the novel before it, carries a clever double-meaning. The HMS TERROR was the name of one of the two ships that comprised the doomed Franklin Expedition,…

HOMO SAPIENS are a recent arrival on planet Earth, showing up late to the party a paltry 200,000 years ago. The young whippersnappers! And they–we–are only one branch on the Human family tree. The only branch, that we know of, that still exists, but still only one. In times gone past, our HOMO SAPIENS ancestors…

You know that container of salt I keep around for just such occasions as this? Go ahead and take yourself a pinch of it for this news. A werewolf has been captured on a video recording in Argentina. Or maybe it’s an alien that just looks like a werewolf. Or maybe it’s a Chupacabra that…

I like that you don’t know anything about the monsters in A QUIET PLACE, other than the things you NEED to know. Namely, that the creatures are blind and hunt by sound, that they are nigh-indestructible, and that they are vicious maneaters. That’s all you need to enjoy the movie. Further details are unnecessary, even…

An article was posted on this site fairly recently about some interaction between Spider-Man and a werewolf, specifically in a Disney/Marvel cartoon. And when you think about it, there’s almost a surprisingly amount of involvement with werewolves in the Marvel comics, given that they’ve roped in everything from figures of Norse mythology to cutting edge…

Or should that be “raccoon zombies”? Eh, potato, poh-tah-to. I’m thinking of starting a recurring thematic subcategory here at werewolves.com, and maybe sharing it with our sister sites vampires.com and darkness.com, calling it “Perfect Set-Ups for Horror Movies.” No time like the present, right? Here we go, then. Let’s restart this article. Here is the…
