Believe it or not, there are werewolf movies other than “An American Werewolf in London”.
Is Robert Downey Jr. producing a werewolf movie? The answer is: maybe
Deadline reports that Susan Downey and her somewhat famous husband Robert will be producing “Cloaked”, a “supernatural horror comedy in the vein of An American Werewolf In London”. Dread Central has gone so far as to label the project “a werewolf tale”, but a comparison to AWIL doesn’t necessarily mean werewolves, Mickey Mouse figurines or a decomposing Griffin Dunne. (more…)

Claymation video for Clutch’s “The Wolf Man Kindly Requests…”
Maryland rock band Clutch has a particularly dedicated fan in Curtis Hein, who singlehandedly animated a full-length music video to the band’s song “The Wolf Man Kindly Requests…” from their latest album, Earth Rocker. The guys in the band were so impressed with the effort and the results that they made it the official music video. I can see why! Great song, great video.
Extraterrestrial nonsense couldn’t derail Face Off’s “Cry Wolf”
When I heard that last Wednesday’s episode of Face Off was the conclusion of a two-episode competition involving vampires and werewolves, I had to take a look. What I saw puzzled me: alien werewolves. In “Cry Wolf”, the four remaining competitors were tasked with creating werewolves displaying “newly-evolved feature specifically designed to take their vampire rivals down”. They did something very similar a year ago. Is it a rule that every challenge on this show has to be hampered by the requirement that the creature be from another world? (more…)
Get a little WolfCop in your life / in your home / on your body

Yesterday they launched a $10,000 Indiegogo campaign to “take WolfCop beyond the big screen”, and its centrepiece is a little WolfCop to call your own. (more…)

Help “House of Monsters” cross the finish line
The Kickstarter campaign for stop-motion series House of Monsters is currently eight days out from finishing, and while it looks like it’s building some momentum, it’s gonna need a little juice from monster fans to go all the way. Take a look at the campaign page or my previous HoM post for a rundown on why this project is worth your contribution (short version: talented and experienced people building and animating incredibly detailed monster puppets, including an excellent werewolf), or check out this higher-level backer reward: get turned into a monster puppet and have a role in the show!

Laura Imbruglia & Chelsea Wolfe music videos
