Realistically speaking, the film industry has come an extremely long way since the first monster flicks. Today we generally build our monster storylines off conventions of the past, and CG has certainly helped bolster our imaginative creativity. People in the early 1900s, however, were thrilled to see any monsters on screen, even with shoddy make-up…

Werewolf Movies to Avoid: Werewolf (1996)
This is a tricky one. A lot of people see the box, and say “wow, nice cover art!” and then they turn it over, and find out the film was released in 1996. And those are only the first of many mistakes that will lead those poor bastards to the inevitable point at which they…
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…
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…
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…
The First Set Photos of Underworld 4 Have Arrived!
I know, I know, the fact that they’re even filming the movie at all is hellaciously exciting, –since for some reason, big budget werewolf movies seem to have a hell of a time getting off the ground. But we finally have something to howl about, and damn it, I mean to do some howling! The photos…
Another Wolf Man Reboot?
Oh. My. God. Seriously? The reception of the first one wasn’t bad enough? The Oscar for makeup was like a pity award; “The movie sucked, and it dragged like the tampon string of a stripper with ten kids, but the makeup was good. Here ya go buddy.” So rather than accept defeat like a man,…
‘The Howling’ Re-Released in Three Hardback Collector’s Editions
To some of you, it may come as a shock, but, believe it or not ‘The Howling’ is based on a novel. I say ‘shock’ because it’s always hard to believe than any good movie can be based off a book, but it does happen, once in a great while. I mean, hey, look at…
