Lucía, Luis & The Wolf – Nightmarish stop-motion shorts from Chile’s Diluvio

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 4:53 pm on November 18, 2010

Viergacht sent me links to these videos earlier in the month, and I only got around to watching them this morning. They’ve been with me all day. I can’t explain them, other than to say they freak out the part of my brain that makes it so I can’t play Silent Hill games.

Lucía (2007) by Cristóbal León, Joaquin Cociña, Niles Atallah
Lucía is the 1st short video of the series “Lucía, Luis y el lobo” (“Lucía, Luis and the Wolf”). The video was shot frame by frame with a digital photo camera. Materials: charcoal, dirt, flowers, found objects and cardboard.

Fuzzy Camera – Werewolf Images Digest 3

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 4:56 pm on November 17, 2010

It’s been a while! Here’s another batch werewolf pictures I’ve seen over the past few months and liked enough to want to save. Lots of these are from old magazine ads, which are neat because they tend to be well-staged, carefully set up photos.

Official Trailer makes “Red Riding Hood” look like “Twilight” because of course it does

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 3:48 pm on

The trailer for 2011′s Red Riding Hood was just released, and from the look of things, director Catherine Hardwicke is still in denial over not being asked back to direct more Twilight films. See for yourself:

A gaunt, poofy-haired male lead swanning about a forest full of sunbeams with his virginal, angelic female counterpart? Hmmm. Hmmmmm. As excited as I am to hear Gary Oldman say the word “werewolf”, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

The Wretched, Awful Trailer for MTV’s Wretched, Awful “Teen Wolf” Remake

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 3:58 pm on November 16, 2010

Hopes: dashed. This looks like an after-school special with a big effects budget. The producers in charge of this should be fired, first from their jobs, then from a big cannon pointed into a volcano. Good job, MTV: obtain the rights to a quirky 80′s cult film, then replace all of the character, charm and originality with “drama” so lame and predictable it would’ve been cut from The Gates. Oh no, Scott’s got a date with a hot girl on the same night as the full moon! What’s gonna happen? Frankly, MTV, I don’t give a shit, and neither will anyone else.

Viacom is going around DMCAing this trailer wherever it pops up, so if this embedded version doesn’t work, sorry. Or… you’re welcome?

Special shout-out to the special effects crew who worked on this: thanks for the effort. Your work (what little I could see of it in this trailer) looks like the one redeeming feature of this abomination.

Hat tip: manny

The Most Bad-Ass Werewolf Suit of Halloween 2010

Posted by Andrew ">Andrew at 5:15 pm on November 15, 2010

Christopher Reeves sent me this photo of the werewolf suit he put together for Halloween 2010. Let’s all just stare at it in silent jealousy for a moment, shall we?

My inspiration was “American Werewolf of London” meets “Underwold”. The head and legs were sculpted and cast in latex using a kit from Monster Makers. The stilts were based off of the Gryphern design and slightly modified. The teeth and gums were sculpted and cast using dental acrylic. The body is a spandex body suit that I sewed the muscles into and painted latex on top of it. The forearms and eyes are the only items I actually purchased. Then everything was airbrushed and fur was added. I also installed some led booklights from the dollar store behind the eyes to make them light up.

There’s nothing about this suit that I don’t love. The fur, the colouring, the face, the claws. Nice flippin’ work, Christopher. You set the bar pretty high for next year!
