Last week, filmmaker and makeup effects artist Eric Yoder launched an Indiegogo campaign for Walpurgis Night, a “disturbing new twist to the classic werewolf story”. This is the continuation of a vision that started with his successful 2019 Kickstarter campaign for The Legend of El Hombre Lobo. The main thing this time around is the […]

Full Moon Features: Lone Wolf (1988)
In retrospect, I probably should have saved The Wolf of Snow Hollow for this month’s Snow Moon, but there’s enough snow in the Colorado-set Lone Wolf to pick up the slack. Released at the end of a decade that delivered a bumper crop of iconic werewolf movies, it’s a film made with a great deal […]
Full Moon Features: WolfWalkers (2020)
Arriving at the end of a year that has been fairly dire on all fronts, Cartoon Saloon’s WolfWalkers comes as a blast of fresh air. The latest feature from the animation studio behind The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, WolfWalkers is of a piece with them since it is steeped in Irish […]
The Wonderful Werewolves of Jim Bycznski
Jim Bycznski is a monster maker, and he’s really good at it. I have one of his pieces – the werewolf mask in this post’s featured image is mine – and like any collector of werewolf stuff, I always want more. Here’s the thing with Jim’s work: more are available, and it’s not just more […]
Full Moon Features: Night Wolf (2010)
When I first heard about this month’s Full Moon Feature, it was called 13Hrs, a reference to how long its protagonists have to hold out (until dawn, essentially) when they’re beset by an unknown (and barely seen) creature. When it finally came out on DVD — two years after its UK release in September 2010 […]
Full Moon Features: Fright Night (1985)
This may seem counter-intuitive, but the best werewolf in a film released in 1985 is the one in Fright Night, which came out 35 years ago today. Written and directed by Tom Holland (making his directorial debut after scripting the likes of The Beast Within and Psycho II), the film stars Chris Sarandon as Jerry […]
Full Moon Features: One Wolf’s Family (1990)
It’s only natural that the syndicated horror anthology series Monsters would tackle werewolves at some point during its run. What’s surprising is it waited until most of the way through season two to do so. (Then again, its predecessor, Tales from the Darkside, waited until season-three opener “The Circus” to unleash its first werewolf, and […]
Shudder’s “Scare Package” anthology film: 7 horror shorts, 1 werewolf
I’m not 100% sure that math checks out, since as of this writing I haven’t seen it, but even one werewolf is enough for me.
Round-up of 4 one-of-a-kind werewolf Etsy finds
Every now and then someone – generally my wife Tandye or my friend Viergacht – sends me an especially cool werewolf doll they find on Etsy. They’re all one-of-a-kind art objects, handcrafted by artists whose interpretations of lycanthrope aesthetics are wonderfully diverse. Enough of these links have accumulated in my open browser tabs that it’s […]
Full Moon Features: Outcast (2010)
It may not strictly be a werewolf movie, but there’s a full moon on the cover of the Bloody Disgusting Presents release of 2010’s Outcast, which premiered ten years ago at the South by Southwest Film Festival, so it will make do for this month’s Full Moon Feature. There is, in fact, a creature called […]
