Werewolf Face Paint

Flickr user ktb8293 recently posted some photos of herself sporting some pretty excellent werewolf face paint. If you’re looking to go as a werewolf this Halloween but want to keep things cheap, simple and cool (ever tried wearing a full-head werewolf mask to a party for three hours?), I recommend you study ktb8293′s technique.

UPDATE: ktb8293 has posted a video tutorial of the whole process on YouTube. I watched the whole thing with my mouth open in astonishment, and right after I click “update” on this post I’m gonna run out to the store and get some makeup. Seriously amazing.

Werewolf Smashes Through Window, Injures Woman

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 10:55 am on October 17, 2008

Of course, the werewolf was on stilts at the time. Seriously. This was at Six Flags Great America’s Fright Fest, and the werewolf in question was a park employee in a costume that involved stilts. He tripped, possibly while avoiding a vampire on a scooter, and fell through the window of Antoine’s Ice Cream Parlor. According to the park’s public relations manager, Brooke Gabbert, one woman was taken to a local hospital and treated for a minor cut on her cheek, probably from the broken class.

The werewolf was apparently unhurt.

I can’t make this stuff up, folks. This is real life.

The Warwulf Costume

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 5:19 pm on October 15, 2008

If you think a fog machine and a CD of scary sounds is a big Halloween production, you need to meet Michael Shears and his neighbours Billy, Doug and Clay. Not only are they putting together a Halloween Spookfest for their neighbourhood in Stratford, Ontario, they’re building the costumes, props and special effects themselves. One of the costume creatures at this event is the Warwulf, a werewolf built on a shoestring budget using household items, ingenuity and a lot of heart.

Alistair Darling is a Werewolf

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 10:26 am on

The Spoof has an amusing article about the latest issue to rock Europe’s financial markets: England’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, is a werewolf. “Whilst being a werewolf does not lend itself naturally to managing the country’s economy,” The Spoof reports, “it has proven a good move in terms of security on Downing Street.”

The Young Werewolves Mash It Up With Cult Film Legend

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 10:35 am on October 11, 2008

The Young Werewolves are a band who blend the styles of rockabilly, psychobilly, surf, punk, garage and pop music into an infectious mix. They’re releasing their second recording, entitled Cheat The Devil, with cult film star Sid Haig as executive producer.

The actor, legendary for playing the hulking menace in many low-budget exploitation and high-priced action films, stands in as the title character on the CD’s artwork and transforms sonically into the role of ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ halfway through the program of music. Sid has enjoyed a recent resurgence portraying the character ‘Captain Spaulding’ in Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects.

Producer Andy Kravitz, who was also behind the board on the trio’s debut recording, crafted a listening experience that ranges from the depths of a mad scientist’s laboratory to the far reaches of outer space.

Cheat The Devil follows the Philadelphia-based trio’s self-titled debut released in 2004. Check them out at www.theyoungwerewolves.com and myspace.com/youngwerewolves.

“Trick or Treat” by Steel

Trick or Treat by SteelC
[click for full version]

It’s October! Time for Halloween, tick-or-treating, lurking werewolves and skeletal trees with the full moon looming overhead. As you can see, artist Steel knows a thing or two about what October’s all about, and she’s combined them in this week’s featured piece of Werewolf Art, “Trick or Treat“. This image has a playful, storybook-picture feel that belies the ominous situation it illustrates. If this werewolf shows up at your door this Halloween, I recommend you give him something good, and save your raisins and apples for someone who won’t eat your face.

You can check out more of Steel’s art at her DeviantART page.

Werewolf “Bitches” Are Coming To Fox

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 5:46 am on October 7, 2008

Leave it to Fox to option a TV show with a title like Bitches. Us snobby werewolf fans ought not to roll our eyes, though! As reported by Fangoria, writer and director Michael Dougherty is bringing a series about werewolves to the small screen in 2009. The show’s called Bitches, and it’s about four female werewolves living in New York. Says Dougherty:

It’s Sex & The City with werewolves! They seduce people, then they eat them! The series will answer the questions: how do they feed, where do they work… It’s very funny.

Not much else is known about the series at this time, but you can keep an eye on Dougherty’s site for updates… and you know anything juicy will get posted here at Werewolf News too!

Six Awesome Werewolves in Video Games

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 10:43 pm on October 6, 2008

on Talbain I, for one, feel that vampires have always garnered way too much attention in the world of video games, and werewolves have subsequently been given the short end of the joystick. Alex and Mark of Diehard GameFAN agree with me, and have posted an article where they ask: Where Are All the Werewolves? They discuss six games that give lycanthropes their due, ranging from Altered Beast to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Can anyone out there think of any other games where you play a werewolf?

Thanks to ArcLight for the link.
